Entitled, yes. Best, effective, or even timely, not so much. A lot of
them won't work probono, and the ones that do often have *massive* case
loads, or work for organizations that are pretty much constantly
vilified for being too liberal, activist, or not on the side of the
assholes and ethically defective (i.e., the ones with money, power, and
therefor, on the "right side", in the minds of those with similar money
and power).
It doesn't do you a lot of good if you have to wait 3 years for a trial,
because Snoop Dog's appointment to argue whether or not his latest Ho
get the TV or not is ***so much more*** important than a civil rights
case, or the injury done to someone living in subsisted housing.
