By W. DALE NELSON
Star-Tribune correspondent
LARAMIE -- Today's lawyers are "an unhappy lot" and many of them wish they had gone into some other line of work, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor told an overflow audience in a University of Wyoming concert hall Tuesday.
Speaking as the inaugural lecturer in a College of Law series on ethics and professionalism, O'Connor said ethical standards have declined since she went to law school in an era when people "trusted and respected" lawyers.
"Job dissatisfaction among lawyers is widespread, profound and growing worse," she said. Studies have shown that lawyers are three times as likely as those in other professions to suffer depression, and that drug dependency, divorce and suicide are also significantly more common among them, she told the audience.
A California study showed lawyers to be "profoundly pessimistic about the future of the legal profession" and found that only half said they would enter the profession if they had it to do over again, she said. Similarly, at the 30th anniversary of her Stanford Law School class, "the vast majority" said in response to a question that they would not do it over again if they had the choice to make.
