You probably have to have a bunch of lawyers running you businesses because so many lawyers in government have made so many damn laws that only a lawyer can run a business and be within the law.
I put computer monitoring systems in nuke plants and we sometimes joke around that the primary function of the power plant is to power our computer systems and anything that's left over can be sold to the general public.
I suspect that lawyers sincerely think that the purpose of business is to provide them with a lucrative vocation.
No, I do have staff lawyers whose job it is to insure legal compliance.
I tend to like lawyers (or rather, people who went to law school) in management because they are smart and can think on their feet.
