Tired of lawyers, state lawmaker wants to cut law schoolâ??s funding (AP)

MADISON, Wis. â?? A lawmaker who persuaded the Assembly to eliminate all state funding for the University of Wisconsin law school says his reasoning is simple: Thereâ??s too many lawyers in Wisconsin.

â??We donâ??t need more ambulance chasers. We donâ??t need frivolous lawsuits. And we donâ??t need attorneys making peopleâ??s lives miserable when they go to family court for divorces,â? said Rep. Frank Lasee, R-Green Bay. â??And I think that having too many attorneys leads to all those bad results.â?
