The Commonwealth of Virginia once outlawed lawyers. I'm not sure how you do that since you have to have a law to outlaw something and you need lawyers to make the law. So, I guess they outlawed themselves making the whole idea kinda cool when you think about it.
As for violence, I'm all for violence when I'm winning. Not so much when I'm losing, though. The thing is that I am far less violent than I used to be. Of course, I don't drink as much tequila either which is also why am not invisible as often. FAX |

Congress does that then lawyers "abide" by it.

Well, okay. Whatever. I happen to know for a fact, though, that almost everybody in Congress is a lawyer.
Anyway, it's true about Virginia. I think there were a couple of other States that did the same thing way back when. Apparently, there was a time when lawyers weren't very popular. It makes you wonder why ... The main thing is that, lawyer or no lawyer, a real man has to do what a real man has to do. And, if that means doing time for knocking back some Finaplix and kicking a guy in the spleen, then so be it. It's a small price to pay for experiencing the sheer joy of destroying some dude's internal organ. FAX |

Technically no, you don't. But it is a good idea. As hated as lawyers are, they are trained to write laws, contracts, etc., in a way that minimizes unintended consequences, prevents it from affecting things that it wasn't meant to affect. It may seem to make sense to write a law in plain English without all the legal mumbo-jumbo, but you could end up making innocent people guilty of a felony because the law was written too broadly, for example.

edit... just ftr I don't hate lawyers. They do what they do for a reason and I've needed one more than once that did what they do for me.
