I.e.: my ex-wife's lawyer sure as hell fucked up what was a reasonably amicable and fair set of agreements regarding our divorce, and in the name of "protecting his client" created problems that linger to this day (over 13 years later). And that is certainly not unusual. 39457@blogcritics.org Sun, 25 Jan 2004 17:18:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/25/160936.php#comment-39451 Do copyright lawyers ever lack for work or money? Speaking of karma, where do lawyers fall in the grand scheme of things? Are they to blame for having constructed and perpetuated these legal contests? Or are they just fulfilling a duty and making a living? 39451@blogcritics.org Sun, 25 Jan 2004 17:03:04 EST
