Another thought on my mind from this is lawyers =/= government. Law school is just so obscenely expensive that the idea of actually changing the system with a J.D. probably rarely comes on radar for law students.

“On Liberty” by John Stuart Mill recently got on my radar via the following elevator pitch:

Mill believed that the most important thing in society was the liberty of the individual. He said that the only justification for law was to prevent harm to others.

From this I got the idea of "What if the only laws which existed existed to prevent harm to the individual?" on my mind. While the profession of lawyering may elicit an equivalent reaction of "corruption" as anyone else, I at times retain a romance for the justice system.
