Which makes me even more interested in what you would like from reform.    My second father was a lawyer, a circuit court jugde and died while he was on the faculty of the University of Houstan Law School.   I didn't get an adult look at Charles who died when I was 8, he was kind and gentle with me, he was a real dad to his new stepson.   Judges have friends and families too.

Not that there aren't some block heads, just like every other profession.   The wealth has also undoubtably affected their integrity.  (we lived in house well under 1500 square feet, rented a garage apt to a student for extra income, 1960).    I've believed for  a very long time that we are overly litigious and it has caused a breakdown in our ability settle cconflict through 'regular' social action.    Feel free to criticize the The Party for legalizing  so many aspects of our personal relationship.  Now we're 'stupid' if we don't 'lawyer up'
