Three issues.

1) I was referencing our oath, not a restatement or code.

2) Most of my sentiment would find greater support from my father's no-nonsense, old-school notions of individual responsibility and "my word is my bond" personal honor than in any law. He can't even spell "restatement" and he'll be the first to tell you.

3) If I become a lawyer, my business model will rest upon the tried and true methods of low-cost marketing and maximizing inventory turn-over. Return customers are easier to keep than new customers are to obtain. A narrow range of specialized services can be provided with greater speed than a broad range of service. Therefore, I will exclusively focus upon no-fault divorce and DUI defense and I will offer customer loyalty cards like you get at the sandwich shop. Buy 4 no-fault divorces and your fifth one is free. Buy 3 DUI defenses and you get half off the fees associated with your parole hearing. No contingency fees, but free parking validation with all consultations, assuming you are still permitted to drive.

But, in regard to item (3), that's a very big "if."
