I personally think the world would be better without lawyers.
At one time, in the past, that lawyer commercials were not allowed on television.
In my honest opinion, the lawyer commercials need to go the way of cigarette commercials.
Lawyers need to become obsolete.
No, lawyers are to act on a check on power. If anything public defenders need more funding. Without lawyers the rich could really bully everyone.
Lawyers ALSO protect you on issues such as wills, power of attorney. Without them even your own family members could drain you.
Despite what you might want to believe, there are courts with judges in places like Iran and Saudi Arabia and China. You may not like their commercials but I am glad we have them. My mom using them late in life made the transition after her passing far easier than it would have been if she did nothing in planning.
But especially with crime, they are extremely important if one is falsely accused. To assume a judge will determine the facts by themselves without bias is a mistake. Judges are human beings too and can be subject to corruption too.
There was a case a few years back where a privately run youth jail was paying A judge to give convictions to fill the jail. That judge was taking bribes to fill the jail.

Judicial corruption is not unique.

Judges need checks on themselves too.
