Recursive attorney disorder

Cartoon by Chatfield.

Recursive attorney disorder (also known as Attorney recursion disorder) is a legal and psychological disorder in which an attorney requires the services of another attorney, who in turn requires the services of another attorney, and so on indefinitely.

A commercial advertisement for the Recursive Attorney Disorder Support Group states:

Recursive Attorney Disorder is not found in the DSM. Actual disorder may differ from one shown. If you are an attorney, ask your attorney if Recursive Attorney Disorder is right for you.
