Lawyers are like advertising people, pure mercenary,They will take on the job whilst not totally believing in its truth, validity, principal or morality. Its only a question of how much they can charge. £1000 per hour is not uncommon(these RGIs have a wee bit of catching up to do)
How many Bloody Sunday and Iraq War enquiries are we going to have, where the vast majority of the £millions in costs goes to lawyers
Im 63. In my life time, because of lawyers, we have become a society that dare not move or speak till we have consulted a lawyer, for fear of someone putting in a claim against us as individuals or organisations. They have the world sewn up just to their liking.
I worked for 37 years in the same engineering company, the last 20 years moving up through management.In that time I witnessed our transition from a functioning decision making management, to a business that would not take any major decisions, be it human resources, man management dealing with unions, redundancies etc. etc. without the relevant team taking a trip to the city to consult our lawyers on what needed to be done. All this for fear of making a mistake and being descended on by another set of lawyers.
I never saw the accounts for their charges, but their offices did seem a very opulent and sedate working environment
As for the Yorkshire Ripper, well. Lawyers will only put forward a case based on facts or evidance as they see it. They will not put forward a case based on principal. Speaks volumes.
Like I said the lawyers will eventually end up with all the money in the world.
