I ask because you seem to be getting it from media and Internet.
As for the lawyers just making work - think of the economics? How do they make work magically that someone is going to pay for? How does that explain the growth (and now cessation of growth) in the profession?
Having seen several cases cost absolutely farcical amounts - entirely due to the ineptitude and underfunding of the court in question - I really don't think the lawyers are "making" the work. It's there and the courts are in the crapper.
NH isn't the counter-example - it's the barebones case. Its courts are going in the crapper entirely due to a funding curve that hasn't kept pace with inflation, let alone the growth in population. Probably a profitable time to become a NH attorney, but a bad time for everyone else. And yet it's attorneys complaining, because of course while the fees are nice, it's nicer still for most attorneys to reach results for their clients.
