Do you know any lawyers? The ones I know care about their jobs, certainly, but care more for doing their jobs WELL and in so doing getting the best results for their clients.
We should not be content with an arrangement that could permit corporations (manufacturers, airlines, freight companies) to come to arrangements with regulators about liability without scrutiny from the individuals affected. As this scrutiny must have a legal framework (i.e. not simple journalism or vengeance) then we must have lawyers to help all parties through to a just solution.
If we must have lawyers then let us have the best lawyers possible and not treat them as if they were pariahs.
