I have nothing against lawyers BTW. My dad & one grandfather were lawyers. I considered law school, but chose another path for my graduate studies. I know some very bright lawyers, have worked with some great transactional ones in M&A deals, and have friends who chose that path too.
That said, I do think society has become overly litigious, partly due to the lawyer advertising addition, and I do think it cheapens the field as you suggested.
