Is our legal profession getting too big for its breeches?

Securing Rights:

"The purpose of government is to maintain a society which secures to every member the inherent and inalienable rights of man, and promotes the safety and happiness of its people. Protecting these rights from violation, therefore, is its primary obligation." (Copied from http://etext.virginia.edu/jefferson/quotations/jeff0150.htm .)
