4 Days: "We the lawyers, in order to form..."

Every aspect of our life is subject to and open for litigious review. Simple disagreements between people require the expertise of the lawyer to solve. How many "Judge What's-Their-Name" shows are on television? How many prime time television shows based on 'the law' make their way into our homes? Popular culture dishes it out and the masses eat it up.

What's most troubling to me is that 'the law' that gets the play time isn't based on constitutional law and adherence to the rules that govern a civil society as much as it's based on 'emotional appeal'. It's no surprise that the election process is finally being engulfed by the legal profession. The real question is: "Why did it take so long?"
