Nick, if you had choosen route as plantiff attorney in US - there would be a legitimate chance of YOU running for VP right now. Trial Attorneys are very a very powerful group.
Think of being involved in tobacco litigation? I know attorneys who made hundred of millions from it.

So do I ... but they weren't plaintiff's attorneys. Not just tobacco, either ... asbestos, various and sundry nasty little chemicals, and a myriad of products that had a nasty tendency to break and hurt people.
There are scumbag plaintiff's attorneys - there is no doubt about it. Based on my experience, there are no more and no less scumbag plaintiff's attorneys than there are defense attorneys.
My personal opinion is that plantiff's attorneys and in-house council run neck-and-neck on the scumbag meter.
