Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I recall, the number of lawyers in government has been dropping since the 60's. It peaked roughly around that time. If so, I'm not sure if that will solve the problem. (might not hurt) As I understand it, the number of lawyers on the hill are at an all time low. Lawyers or not.. the corruption manifests in many ways. I'll take anyone who is principled and honest, lawyer or not. The environment doesn't seem to lend ifself to attracting people of principle, unfortunately.
