Yep, I can hear my boss and his coworkers laughing it up right now. It's a daily occurrence in my department, and I don't even work in family law, which I hear is WAY more cut-throat than what I work in. It's eye-opening to be on the inside and hear how little these guys think of their own clients, let alone of the opposing party. I used to just have this general negative image of lawyers...now I have a clear-cut idea of how despicable most of them can be.
