Poor Lawyers of the World Unite!

Looks like we PDs in America get the short end of the profession's financial stick. Criminal barristers in the UK are on the verge of a strike over their low compensation, particularly for lengthy trial cases. While the article cites on barrister who made less than $10,ooo last year (which sucks, be honest), other complainers were making closer to $100,000, which is much more than your average American PD. And the fact that some public barristers make upwards of $900,000 makes me think something is wrong, but it's not underpayment on a grand scale. If any PD in this country made that kind of money it would be a major scandal, and rightfully so.
