I think it's largely reflected in my own experience, but I think I'd actually reframe the point as that the public hates its perception of lawyers - as amoral mercenaries, among other things - but is fascinated with the idea of performing their own version of lawyering; I think it's less about the law and more about their perception of the process at arriving at truth.

Hey everyone! When I was reviewing Lawyerland, I was curious what people thought about the idea that most people hate lawyers but love the law (pg. 15). How have your perspectives on lawyers and/or the law changed during law school? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts!

Also, I'm new to using wikis, but I did my best to set this up correctly. Happy to change the format or take it down if I used the incorrect method to post something like this.
