There are those that say that lawyers are arrogant. Certainly some lawyers may seem and actually be arrogant. A waiter once hunched over me and demanded that I try the prawns that he set on the table. I explained to him that I did not eat prawns. He refused to move from my side and I refused to eat his prawns. I found him arrogant, especially when he charged my host for the prawns that I did not eat.

Pirates, like some lawyers, some waiters and a good number of other people, are arrogant. Nobody has cornered the market on arrogance yet, although late night talk show hosts that perpetuate punch lines about lawyers while railing against the employers that pay them a pretty good buck, seem to have a strong head start on the rest of us.

So, are lawyers like pirates? Hardly.

The pen is not only mightier than the sword, but it usually forms the letters that spell justice.
