Law 
No one pukes on us

Haha, thats a good approach
I do think medicine as a profession is amazing, the people within it do a great job, but im going into Law.. the profession whereby your reputation as an individual is massively important.. i agree that some solicitors may over-charge aka con their clients but if you're good enough as a Solicitor/Barrister then why not? as "alot" is usually at stake

Not all lawyers are bad - has no one read To Kill A Mockingbird, or heard of Clarence Darrow?
On a similar note, not all doctors are good; you get some rotten apples.
But on the whole, Law is better for the mega dollarz, whereas Medicine is better for the warm, fuzzy feeling inside that you've saved a life.

Good point, i would never doubt the importance of both professions, they're and always have been.. both highly important for the goodwill of society.. would you agree that they're the top 2 professions out there.. in terms of relevance/impact/reputation?

Being both a lawyer and a doctor it's hard to say which, but playing the law card has landed me the most threesomes so far if that means anything.

Both have lots of new people taking it each year so it's less and less prestigious as time passes.
Only if the population increases, resulting in more people applying to university and furthermore applying for the degrees which represent the two professions in question?

Haha i see your point thats a worthy anaylsis i suppose...
The law subjects doctors to a number of constraints though? showing a higher degree of authority in terms of profession? not my own opinion just a suggestion.. what do you think..?

Lawyers dont make the law
and everyone is subjected to constraints through the law...including Lawyers
Both are excellent careers to go into, I think generally Doctors have a better rep though

I know Solictors/Barristers dont but Judges sometimes do, if you take that legal stance! What do you think common law is?

In my opinion; better money, better public image (in my opinion remember) and they do more for society. My opinion though; obviously you may view it differently, but i'd personally prefer to live in a world without lawyers than without doctors. However, as another user said, we live in a democracy where no profession really has authority over another.

Yes common law is persuasive however statute law is binding. Common law can be overruled, statute law is set in stone...statue law is made by the government hence they are the people with the real control -lawyers and judges mainly interpret...hence common law derives from the interpretation of statute law. That is why seperation of powers is a fundamental element of the UK institutions - the three main institutions cannot overlap - therefore parliament is the law-making body, whose laws will then be interpreted by judges.

Cool, of course your entitled to your opinion and i would never go against that, i just think its an interesting discussion as theyre probably the most prestigous 2 professions out there?

Yep, correct.. i'm surprised by the amounts of statutory provisions which constrain the medical profession, one example can be that of Assisted Suicide and the statutory provision surrounding that..

Doctors save individuals.
Lawyers save societies.

Very true
Which is more important?
A corrupt/un-challenged society can lead to "anything"

I couldn't think of anything more dull than law, to be honest.
That said, I wouldn't want to **** with a lawyer.

Good ideas, just like to highlight a fact, lawyers are American, in England... the terms "Solicitors/Barristers" are much more appropriate.
No, lawyers are English and cover solicitors and barristers...attorneys are American.
