I'd like to support Steves post by saying that comparing a vocation (something one chooses, and in this case, a rather lucrative one) and ones ehtnicity (something one cannot change, as, if it were possible, countless jews in Germany during WWII need not have died), is not a fair assessment.

Consider too that needing a lawyer and actually being able to obtain one are very different things. Anyone needing to sue another person (child support comes to mind) needs to be able to afford it. In cases where one cannot afford it, "justice" seems only for those with enough money.

This can lead to jokes like this one.
