Before I decided to be a chef, I briefly studied law. My work experience let me read some old family law cases... I can honestly say, there is not enough unsee juice to ever completely erase what I read in those files
While lawyer-hate is blown way out of proportion, one has to admit, it’s quite funny that having a negative opinion of them goes back to before Shakespeare. A character in Henry VI, Part 2 (act 4, scene 2, line 73) argues that “The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,” reflecting that, at least among the common folk, the legal profession was not popular.
While there are cases of lawyers with questionable morals, more often than not, a lot of hate stems from the fact that they simply understand the arena they play in better than most people. If you have ever seen someone attempt to represent themselves in court, you will know just how poorly that often goes.

This reminds me of a story where a person was accused of plagerism. The accuser showed how the person copied word for word with a smug look until the accused showed that he was the one that actually wrote it.
Because lawyers historically were often asked to execute the laws of others and because they tend to have a very good understanding of what they can and can’t do, people on the receiving end might end up quite unhappy. English poet John Gray, as part of The Beggar's Opera, stated that “If Lawyer's Hand is fee'd, sir, He steals your whole estate.”

Sometimes even the defense when a bit incapacitated. My lawyer was hung over and didn't say a word when the judge said he was missing the drug evaluation I was supposed to have done before sentencing. I had to interrupt and speak up in court and ask him to look again because the court had four different copies. He sentenced me to probation and gave my lawyer the most evil come hither finger I've ever seen. I still remember the lady from probation who told me to have that evaluation done before sentencing or I would be going to prison, she saved my butt. My lawyer just looked traumatized when he left the judge's chambers
It doesn’t help that, for example, many law school graduates indicate that they want to go into corporate law, which most folks see as a sort of amorphous, amoral blob. Even worse are the “ambulance chasers.” For those outside of the US, an ambulance chaser is a “strategy” where personal injury lawyers will seek out the scene of an accident and attempt to convince the victim to sue.

And waiting... And waiting... Politely trying to remind them that you said this particular long-winded,irrelevant detail does not matter, has Ben sorted, is covered in the paperwork and finally trying to use this irrepressible urge as a point in the case just to shut them up. (I ended up writing on the paperwork 'do not ask the client anything about this. Their condition makes them unable to ignore the topic and discuss it in great detail. The assessor on the panel asked... The judge awarded after the eighth consecutive minute of trying to interrupt and shut the client up)
While these cases do exist, it’s important to remember that a lawyer is just one component of a larger game. Between laws, those who make them, those who enforce them, the courts, and the members of the jury, there is a lot more going on than just greed. The stress and drama of a trial can get to lawyers as well.

I had the opposite experience! The judge refused to clarify the law in a case that I was on a jury for. 🤷♀️

At the same time, many now-lawyers talk about law school as if it were boot camp, which might be a tad dramatic. There is no doubt that it’s hard, but there are folks in literal life-or-death professions who don’t complain as much. That being said, if one is dealing with criminal law, the stakes can be quite high.

For the survey I picked law school experience. Why? I went to graduate school at a seminary (graduate school for future pastors and religious scholars). What I know about how they acted in university would blow people’s minds. I can only imagine how much worse it is in law school.
