Kind of an ironic example, lawyers have terrible working conditions. Pay is great, but the partner system of advancement is dehumanizing, and encourages cutthroat behavior and insane working hours.

I'm not looking to model the law firm model. That's a different system and much closer to a Consulting/Professional Services outfit.

The bar is an accreditation and verification system as well as a means for upholding ethical standards across the membership.
