[OT] I can't belive this can be happen ????????

Very true.  The problem is incentive.  Not only is the financial success of a
lawyer determined by the lawsuits he successfully litigates (Quality and
Quantity), but there is a notion that Lawyers must be rich...

It may sound unAmerican, but perhaps Lawyers should have a income cap legally
enforced in order to be registered to practice law.  Beyond that cap, they
work for free.  We'd see how they chose their work then :)
