Scalia: U.S. is "over-lawed"
"Mr. Scalia has some idea for avoiding public anger at the courts in future: Use them less. He thinks the United States is 'over-lawed' and has too many lawyers. 'I don't think our legal system should be that complex. I think that any system that requires that many of the country's best minds, and they are the best minds, is too complex,' he says. 'If you look at the figures, where does the top of the class in college go to? It goes into law. They don't go into teaching. Now I love the law, there is nothing I would rather do but it doesn't produce anything.'"
