Lawyers are the first refuge of the incompetent.

Summary

This quote is a satirical remark that suggests that lawyers are often sought out by those who are incapable or lack the skills to solve their own problems. It implies that rather than taking personal responsibility, some individuals rely on lawyers to navigate legal matters due to their own incompetence or inability to handle the situation themselves. The quote pokes fun at the idea that lawyers are often seen as the go-to solution for any challenging situation, despite the fact that the quoted statement denies the effectiveness of such refuge.
