On a more serious note:

I think common law and especially the US flavor of it transforms lawyers to a priest cast like in ancient Egypt.

Voodoo masters dominating the simple folk.

To change your fate you're not sacrificing the lamb anymore but you're rather sueing it.

Where I come from laws are made by parliaments and not by judges.

Lawyers are not particularly unpopular here and their compensation for court suits is strictly regulated.

Of course YMMV...
