When 'The Cosby Show' came out, and everyone was up in arms about 'The Cosby Show' and that it was reflecting a world that didn't exist - but I knew black doctors. And I knew black lawyers. And I knew families that, you know, had a mother and a father and kids that were well-behaved.
- Gina Prince-Bythewood

I think the legal profession is getting somewhat corrupted. When it comes to lawyers, I think it's kind of a Catch-22.

But on the other hand, the only way to sort through all that process, procedure and mess is through the legal profession.
- Mike Leach
#Lawyers
Despite the generous rewards that state juries dole out, in many cases, victims receive less than 50 cents on the dollar in settlements with the lawyers taking the rest. This is not justice.

I'm unique for a suspense author in that I don't have a specialty background. A lot of suspense writers used to be lawyers or crime beat reporters. I didn't even know a cop when I started out. I finally figured out that I could visit prisons - I just had to be willing to make the phone calls.
- Lisa Gardner
#Lawyers

Around the courthouse when defense lawyers are chatting about their cases, the only question they ask each other is can you put your guy on the stand? Those conversations always assume the defendant is guilty. The question is just about the degree of difficulty in presenting a defense.

#Lawyers
Jury instructions are so numerous and complex, it's a wonder jurors ever wade through them. And so it should come as no surprise that they can sometimes get stuck along the way.

- Marcia Clark
#Lawyers

Culturally, I have always been part of the proletariat. I lived side by side with the sons of glassblowers, fishermen and smugglers.

That has been changed.
- Robert Kennedy
