I don't consider myself similar to a priestly class, but that's an interesting analogy. Attorney exists because society needs us. People tend to think of lawyers as all rich ambulance chasers. Many of us represent abused children and the elderly or we do necessary contract preparation and commercial law cases. Criminals would not be in jail if we didn't have attorneys to prosecute them. Innocent people would not be free if we didn't have attorneys to defend them. But for the personal injury attorneys, insurance companies would pay zero for pain and suffering. If not for atty Thorgood Marshall (later U.S. Supreme Court justice), segregated schools would still be legal. Attorneys cannot be lumped together as though we were all the same, but we do protect the rights of individual citizens and assist our society to remain free.

Attorneys insist on law. Even if it comes in conflict with justice. Priests preach the book but can`t throw the first stone.
