Amelia Vayda, Chapter 4, Question 5

In chapter 4 Wheelan discusses how the government regulates certain parts of the economy. One example that he gives from a different book Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman is that people believe that lawyers should have a less restrictive admission to the bar. Which in turn allows lawyers to practice even if they are not the smartest or the most knowledgeable. Some people believe that they need lawyers to be the best of the best, but others believe that because of everything we use lawyers for we don't necessarily need the best lawyer. It still struck me that lawyers were deciding/talking about allowing lawyers who were not as brilliant to pass the bar because in this time with all the things that you need lawyers for, it could be detrimental to someone if they got less than the best of the best. To me I agree with the people who say that we should have "Cadillac Lawyers" (88).
