Why politicians are so many qualified lawyers? Maybe because the practice of law to find so unsatisfactory, it is because the capacity that they fit properly Necessary to become a politician or possess a combination of two or are there other reasons?
I searched online a list of U.S. presidents and their professions. On Wikipedia I found such a list and counted 25 lawyers. There have been 43 U.S. presidents, but only 42 presidents have been considering re-Clevelanda consecutive term of office. In the recent contest to select candidates for both parties six six Democratic candidates were Republicans with a degree of justice, and after the next presidential election, could be another U.S. president who is a lawyer.
A study of leaders and other politicians from other countries show a preponderance of lawyers. vision of Canada Parliament of Canada website has 22 prime minister with a law degree, had a total of28th In the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Hubert Ingraham, a lawyer, David Thompson of Barbados is a lawyer, former President Fidel Castro is studying in Cuba (not sure if he practices) Law and Ralph Gonzalves of St. Vincent is a lawyer. According to the Parliamentary Library in Australia, 42% of the Australian Parliament consists of lawyers. Remember Tony Blair in England? He was a lawyer and then French President Nicolas Sarkozy. What happens?
It seems that only lawyers love leadersand / or enjoy the fruits that come with political positions. To be honest, though, to convince a politician that includes a large group of people who have the best ideas that can solve their problems and a generally you are better than the next person, just like the trail lawyer. It 's the law and in a better position to understand the laws and their application (and its potential manipulation)? And 'task of diligence by the hand and all lawyers are trained to operatesleep for a few hours and then work like crazy. These offers, negotiations, agreements and contracts and lawyers in particular lawyers in civil cases often skillful negotiator and I could go on and on.
However, outside of their qualifications and training, there are other considerations of this relationship between law and politics? How about the economy as a factor. Many lawyers enter the field as it is considered a good source of money, but what is the connection with politics? You cansee politics as a natural springboard, which may qualify or to establish contacts, to ensure a continuation, if not expand their already high profits will be. I once read on CNN that Bill Clinton earned $ 7,500,000 for tuition in 2005. If lawyers, even when they fail to return the policy to practice law with his new found contacts / potential clients in hand. Not a bad deal, and could in fact be an additional factor, namely flexibility. It is left to right to give policyLosing the previous elections law and the cycle continues.
Then there is an abundance of lawyers. It seems, given the number, which led to the beautiful words that all law studies. Yes to the legal field is oversaturated. I could not find the source itself, but I read an article claimed by Thomas C. Reeves in the history of network news, the United States in 2007, according to the American Bar Association, there were 1,148,358 lawyers while in 2000 1,066,328. DanQuayle reportedly said that the U.S. is 5% of world population and 70% of lawyers in the world. Now I do not know if these numbers can count on - do not forget that "infamous" on potatoes - but I think we can agree that condemns a lot of lawyers out there. Therefore, if you take many of us for a piece of cake, why not stop, will join the rat race and others? Become a politician and win fame, fortune and, of course, more power.
This brings me to my point of departureAbout dissatisfaction with the practice of law. Has no relevance here? I mean, if we work hard in the formulation and reformulation of fine print involved in the fight to the last cent of legal expenses, scouring the planet for our customers and make the fight against fraud in the lobby, and the company well , why not try the splendor of political life is. Wait! What exactly? If it comes to socializing with the rich and powerful speeches before television cameras rolling and yourSleeves and help fight your electoral injustice. Oh, yes, the glamorous part, but it can also mean intrigues, maneuvers, meetings with women in the Governor Hotel spray, Showing consideration for employees and face the reality that money and sponsors King.
Sounds familiar? Maybe, just maybe the lawyers have been shaped by their training and experience in their careers, have coined, has become the perfect political order.
