While I do not think this view is accurate, it is not necessarily an expression of simple prejudice; on the contrary, this view can be founded on a respectable philosophical argument. the argument I have in mind here has been given careful expression by Richard Wasserstrom, who claims that the lawyer-client relationship leads lawyers to occupy what he calls 'a simplified universe which is strikingly immoral'.
