* A lawyer in ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' kills a cockroach while complaining that his fumigators didn't do a good job, and says he & they are from the same species. When Mac stares at him blankly, he asks: "What, you don't like lawyer jokes?" Mac replies, "I don't like lawyers." At the end of their conversation, Mac turns it on the guy with "What do they call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start." Pause. "What, YOU don't like lawyer jokes?"

* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'': "The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers." Note that Doc does not necessarily say that as good news. Specifically, the line explains how Marty’s future son was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 15 years in prison within 2 hours of his arrest. Considering the context of the line it's more likely that no lawyers mean no protection from the StateSec.

Adding entry for early American history, under Real Life.

Added DiffLines:

* During early American history, lawyers were seen as suspect, to the point that, as Stacy Schiff notes in her biography of Samuel Adams, "Massachusets courts had operated for years without them." She further mentions in a footnote that, a couple generations prior, a call had gone out to London for a few honest attorneys, "if such a thing existed in nature."
