The State of the Profession

“[T]he legal profession used not to be so entirely selfish, self-seeking. The profession has become very greedy and materialistic. The amount of money that some lawyers earn is obscene. There’s now a kind of ruthlessness in dealings between lawyers which is unpleasant, not good for the client or for justice.”

                    —  Sir Geoffrey Bindman, newly-knighted solicitor at age 74, on the state of the profession in the U.K. (from this interesting story on him today in The Times of London)   [Alan Childress]
