Sunday Reflection: Does America have a lawyer problem, or a law problem?

As someone who teaches at a law school, and sees his students go out into the world, I am predisposed to like law. When I practiced law at a big firm here in Washington, D.C., I enjoyed it and I felt like we helped our clients with their problems, more often than not.

But a lot of people out there don’t like lawyers, and think that the legal profession is harming the country. And I’m beginning to think that they might have a point.
