Apparently, "trial lawyer" is a dirty word these days. An example is this piece I pulled out of a Google search, discussing John Edwards' prez campaign. I don't know if Edwards is the right guy to be president, but he has committed himself, as a trial lawyer and as a senator to representing the interests of the public. If that's a bad thing, and it makes Edwards a bad man, then I guess I am, too. Even though I think I'm pretty nice....
