That one hundred and fifty lawyers should do business togeth

Summary

This quote points out the difficulty and unlikelihood of having a large group of lawyers successfully collaborate on business endeavors. The statement suggests that due to the competitive nature of the legal profession and the potential conflicts of interest that may arise, it is highly improbable for a substantial number of lawyers to effectively work together towards a common goal. Factors such as personal ambitions, differing opinions, and a propensity for individualism are likely to impede the smooth functioning of a large lawyer collective.
