Earth Quotes

We have the heaviest concentration of lawyers on Earth -- one for every five-hundred Americans; three times as many as are in England, four times as many as are in West Germany, twenty-one times as many as there are in Japan.

Ninety percent of our lawyers serve 10 percent of our people. We are over-lawyered and under-represented.
Jimmy Carter
