Prosecuting bank execs may have "negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy" ~ Eric Holder, US Attorney General
@paulrogers002 @OccupyWallStNYC Could do with a few more principled DA's in the USA, such as the one you quoted Paul. Now, more than ever...

@C7RKY@OccupyWallStNYC Agreed - too many lawyers in US, not enough principle or social awareness. -
@paulrogers002@OccupyWallStNYC I just wish I could regard it as an accident. Sadly, it feels more 'engineered' than random these days. -
@C7RKY@OccupyWallStNYC Yep - higher education system in US has much to answer for, selling the law as high-return career; but no vacancies! -
@paulrogers002@OccupyWallStNYC That too. I was more focussed on the lack of principle/social awareness part. None of it good, mind you! -
@C7RKY@OccupyWallStNYC Doctors, for what it's worth, are given training in medical ethics. Lawyers need true equivalent or better. -
@paulrogers002@occupywallstnyc Training only converts to legally unenforceable prof codes unf. Lawyers know this, makes it all meaningless. -
@C7RKY@OccupyWallStNYC Yes, professional standards mainly used to preserve 'closed shop' vs.paralegals. In-house oversight an issue too -
@paulrogers002@occupywallstnyc Could tell you some spine-chilling tales of just how far that goes Paul. I'd DM but seems you've unfollowed? - 1 more reply
