argue with the idea that the idea of lawyers (or more properly, the 
idea of fair and equal laws) have not been breached.  I think there 
are so many  examples of *unfair* legal practices within the WW 
(Sirius, Hagrid,  Umbridge's reign, etc.) and they have been so 
prominently raised by  JKR, I cannot imagine that she'll allow things 
to remain status quo.<


Pippin:
I think these three issues are related: no lawyers, no formal study
of wizarding law except for those apprenticed to the ministry, and 
Hermione's career plans. The first universities in the real world were
established for the study of law. Perhaps Hermione is destined to
found the wizarding world's first institute of higher education.
