Breaking: Ninth Circuit Set to Decide High-Stakes Calise vs. Meta Platforms Showdown
Shakespeare’s prose in the play Henry VI – “The first thing we do is, let’s kill all the lawyers” – is often misused and misunderstood. Shakespeare never meant to disparage or attack the legal profession.
“Approximately four hundred years after Shakespeare’s death, this pithy phrase has become one of the most famous witticisms, appropriated often to disparage the legal profession, or at least acknowledge the ubiquitous caricature of the crooked, overpriced, counselor.” – LitHub.com
The quote actually amplified Shakespeare’s trust in the legal profession. LitHub also said, “In other words, the quote suggests that Shakespeare represented lawyers as the most fundamental defense against the grossest manifestations of power-hungry antics wrought by the scum of humanity.”
