True. The more government engages in social engineering, the fatter the codes grow, the more extensive and entrenched become the bureauacracies, and the greater need for lawyers to find or cut a path through the thickets. Strict products liability, CERCLA, EPA regs, burgeoning work-place regulations, punitive damages, regulation of tobacco manufacturers, trade regulations and barriers, food and drug regulations, Civil Rights acts, consumer and securities class actions, antitrust laws, securities regulations, etc. etc. all represent endless riches for lawyers. Laissez faire would be disastrous to our profession.
