alt Hacker NewsI will disagree with that from experience. I'm from a small (under a million) country with a surplus of lawyers... it's corrupted them in the sense that there's not enough work around to make money from being efficient, so they legendarily drag out the cases they can, and there's near-monthly trials of cases of theft from trust accounts. So, no "actually".
Again the business demand for legal services has little to do with "cases" as such. Your experience is irrelevant and you're probably ignorant about how business and the legal/regulatory system works in the USA. The vast majority of work done by corporate counsel never has anything to do with trials. The real world isn't like what you see in TV legal dramas.
