They're in high demand. Blame our complex judicial system and the people looking to abuse it.

  Plus 3 years of law school and some tough bar exams.

    Sure. But we made those complex laws. We can simplify them for the benefit of the society! It amazes me sometimes.....so much money rolling towards a profession that does not produce any wealth!

      I can understand the argument that lawyers are paid out of proportion to their contribution to society. But I've never understood the people who claim that they literally contribute nothing. It's better to have laws than to not have them, and laws require interpretation. That's what the legal system does. It may be that most lawyering is pointless, but certainly not all.
