Of course. Lawyers are an enormous waste of money and in most circumstances a drain on society.

You say

"Lawyers are a waste of money"

and

"Lawyers are an enormous waste of money and in most circumstances a drain on society."

But you also say:

"No one, on this forum or otherwise, is in any position to evaluate whether or not someone else truly might need a lawyer. Every case tends to be full of nuance."

Why the absolute statement as well as the contradiction if in fact you believe that "No one, on this forum or otherwise, is in any position to evaluate whether or not someone else truly might need a lawyer."

Because they're a waste of money, but because it's part of the system some people still need them?
