<p>There will always be crime so lawyers work is always assured. Also, when business is bad lwayers make a ton of money on bankruptcy and employment law. If business is just chugging along they make a ton of money reviewing contracts. If business is great they make a ton of money from securities law. In business, when business is mediocre or bad you lose your shirt. Only when business is good do you prosper. Lawyers always prosper no matter what the business climate is.</p>
