If you're talking about Law 360 and similar sites for legal news, sure.

If you're talking about political news, no. Some of the most hyperbolic, partisan, and bizarrely flawed takes on Trump, and the US political situation over the last 5 years, have come from lawyers. It's been embarrassing.

A fair counterpoint: some of the most hyperbolic, partisan, and bizarrely flawed takes have come from Trump's own legal team (looking at you, Giuliani).

But I'm sure we could find bits of embarrassment anywhere we look!

The problem is one is appearing in Borat films and not taken seriously, the other is on the faculty at Harvard and writing op eds for the nyt.
