Excess lawyers' fees buy fame and prestige

Excess lawyers' fees buy fame and prestige

A classroom in the new University of Alabama School of Law building will be named for the firm of Balch & Bingham because of a recent gift it made to the building campaign.

Fifty-four of the firm's lawyers are making pledges to the campaign.

Naming opportunities for the building are set at $250,000. Where do lawyers get $250,000 to give away?

Lawyers insure that the poor are forced to use lawyers' services. If lawyers can contribute $250,000 to self-serving projects, lawyers are over charging the poor.

In a nation where overpaid lawyers outnumber clergyman ten fold, some poor person is poorer today because lawyers take from the poor to buy personal fame and prestige.
