One has to ask oneself when filing specious suits: just why the living Hell did one ever choose to attend law school if not to make the world a better place?
In my law school there were all kinds of aspiring lawyers. Some took this path to help people. Many did it because they wanted a steady, well-paying career. I did it because I come from a family of lawyers and my father basically pushed me into it (I should have gone into tech). If I hadn't switched from being a business lawyer, which never inspired me, to helping hurt people and their families, my career would have been a waste. There are lots of lawyers who may have started with good intentions but their need/desire to make money changed that. Fortunately, there are more who just want to do a good job for their clients and be an honorable professional. I wish every lawyer took your sentiment to heart.
