In leiu of doing my journal for professional responsibility (see, they make us take ethics. We are good people!) I found some funny quotes I wanted to share:

"The public regards lawyers with great distrust. They think lawyers are smarter than the average guy but use their intelligence deviously. Well, they're wrong. Usually they're not smarter."

~F. Lee Bailey

"... ours is a sick profession marked by incompetence, lack of training, misconduct and bad manners. Ineptness, bungling, malpractice and bad ethics can be observed in court houses all over this country every day ... these incompetents have a seeming unawareness of the fundamental ethics of the profession."

~Chief Justice Warren Burger

"Judge - A law student who marks his own examination papers."

~H.L. Hencken

"Law school has been described as a place for the accumulation of learning. First-year students bring some in; third-year students take none away. Hence it accumulates."

~Daniel White
