There are two reasons why law is considered highest paid profession in the world.
1) First, there is no upper limit to stakes or amounts involved in the litigations. It can involve billions and billions of rupees or dollars in one single case.
When stakes and risks are high, the remuneration is also high.
2) A human beings whole life can be at stake in a case. In a given case death sentence can be given. Or he can be sent to jail for many many years.
Where one's life is at stake, a human being can spend everything he has.
But it is not as if there are no lawyers for the poor.
There are lawyers who serve poorest of poor.
The law is treated by philosophers as the noblest profession in the word.
