A friend of mine, an attorney, was appointed to a committee to create standard forms for the state bar association to promulgate for practitioners to use when dealing with a new statutory process. The committee was comprised of attorneys of varied backgrounds and several judges. Being apparently the only person on the committee with a private school primary education, she soon found herself continuously correcting phrases in the verbiage in the forms, which included syntax and grammar errors. It got so bad that some on the committee began to resent her interjections and she finally requested to be excused from participation on the committee. Rather than appreciating the expertise she offered, the committee chose to forge ahead in ignorance. The best and brightest, no less.
That’s lawyers!
Most I’ve met consider themselves Master’s of the Universe on every subject. Just ask them ! Legends in their own mind!
