No wonder they sometimes make such a bad name for themselves. Just like cops, they can be their own worst enemies:

Ouch...
In a way, this is up there with a successful LBO, as an expression of pure capitalism. (I've, at times, thought it would be quite fun to go into finance, and play with commodities, and being a corporate raider...)
A lawyer who can f%&k someone on behalf of his client, while, literally, f$*%9g his own client, and billing said client for it, has achieved a pure expression of being a shyster.
He should be drummed out of the profession... but you also have expect to see small shrines set up to him in the halls of litigation firms, and moot court teams...
