Well there is that pesky problem where animators and cleaners not being used or existing won't land you in jail or fined beyond your means to pay but having a lawyer can help mitigate or prevent it.

we live in a society that is heavily litigated because we have governments at all levels churning out laws and regulations to their benefit and those of their supporters.

There are some fields that exist to protect you from physical and financial harm and those will always exist and be desirable until we can eliminate the causes.

Exactly.

Watching Gantz, you wait for that moment at the end where something happens and realize you've wasted 10 hours of your life.

Accused of a crime? You may realize you've wasted your life in jail because you hired a bad lawyer.

I thought parent's argument is that you get thrown into jail because you didn't hire any lawyer. It's not that you got a bad lawyer, it's that you must hire one to defend yourself in the first place. Thus there is an always growing need for lawyers, bad or good.
