I am looking at Disciplinary Board opinions and it appears that lawyers are now being suspended for several cases of neglect. This type of discipline seems very severe and sometimes uncalled for.

In terms of the legal profession, the above is just an example of the larger conflict between professionalism and business that the legal profession is facing.
