A Moratorium On Training New Lawyers
A Moratorium On Training More Lawyers?
By Elton Camp
With the job market for lawyers being saturated
It’s time that most of the programs be terminated
It surely seems that the law schools could understand
That the supply of attorneys already exceeds demand
That is why unprofessional things the law firm tries
Like openly and flagrantly beginning to advertise
Would any other profession stoop low to do that way?
“Let me take your uterus out,” would a doctor ever say?
Would a college professor advertise, “My class is best
And your learning here will be better than in the rest?”
Lawyer ads have a small-print disclaimer at the end
But for the oversupply of them, ads wouldn’t begin
Even to the law student, it’s unfair to crank more out
Then to make a decent living they find there’s doubt
On contingency, injury lawyers usually offer to serve
And unless they win the case, no payment do deserve
A losing client may need to pay the winner’s cost & fees
Most who sue are unaware of possibilities like these
