Lawyers really aren't so bad, it's just ninety-nine percent of lawyers that make the rest look bad.
One of the biggest forms of discrimination is economic. The average victim of criminal injustice is someone who is economically challenged and has the disadvantage of being accused of a crime. If they are indicted for anything they get a public defender and wind up pleading to a lesser charge of something else that they didn't do. The average multimillionaire pays a really competent attorney a substantial retainer and walks away. Economically challenged persons never meet a competent attorney. They can't afford to.
