Lawyers are stupid

[thereject]

I say this as someone with years of experience in dealing with lawyers. The partners in my failed I.T. company were lawyers. Most of my clients were lawyers. 7% of my friends list are lawyers (no offense, but you're damned by the company you keep). Some of my family members are lawyers. I know what I'm talking about

Sometimes I want to weep for the state of legal affairs in our country, but then I realize that other countries have it just as bad. I once spent some time reading about English barristers and the shenanigans they get into, and I realize that we are not alone in our stupidity.

at least the american folk don't punch each other in court... english law and government is amazing. also, i've met a several lawyers who understand email fairly well enough, but they end up with hardcopy anyways for document retention purposes. i think one thing they teach in law school is "make a binder", like, Legal Arts and Crafts 101 course. I'm surprised more legal documents aren't decorated with construction paper butterflies and popsicle sticks...
