Lawyers need to go

Lawyers need to go
Aren't judges enough for deciding what should be legally done?

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. This is a bad idea, and you should feel bad for suggesting it.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

No. Give me a good reason other than you thinking it's a bad idea.

Everyone deserves a fair hearing... without lawyers the legal system would be unfair and corrupt (or even more so than normal anyways).

Here's a good reason: Learn about Law any why lawyers exist.

I can't even lie if I try (O.C.D. reasons) but I bet I'd probably make a good lawyer if I learned enough about it. There are other ways to defend people.

Sure there are lawyers that are lying corrupt assholes but... lawyers get a bad rap. It's just like cops: sure there are corrupt cops. But they aren't all like that. They get a bad rap too.

Not as easy as it looks.

Judges know more than lawyers. Wouldn't the system be better suited without the two lawyers arguing?

You want reasons:

Judge Jean Boyd
Judge Aaron Persky
Judge Kurt Eisgruber
Judge Jeneaine Howard

You're giving judges WAY too much power, not to mention police too much power. Imagine being questioned without an attorney present. You've basically made a way for 99% of people to be charged with a crime--guilty or not--to be prosecuted.

No... without disagreement it's impossible to ever get objectivity and fairness.

Names are not reasons.

I disagree.

How is objectivity and fairness obtained from atheist arguing with theists?

Did you fucking gloss over the rest of my post, or did you simply choose not to read it?

You should have provided something of better importance.
