Bang on... commercial lawyers basically earn their best money that way... and it appeals to many of them psychologically - you go into commercial law in particular if a certain kind of systems beating/game theory approach appeals to you and you're a humanities student (if you could do math, many other career options exist...)

There are lawyers who seek to learn the law so as to promote justice and there are others who learn the law so as know how to stay just inside it. Guess who make more money.
