Law school teaches you to read laws and to understand what they mean.
Generally speaking, you need to be a pretty smart individual to get through the Harvard Law School with top honors (I can think of one glaring exception, however).
Yes, even though laws and regulations can be confusing, I can’t believe that Mr. Cruz (who Alan Dershowitz said was one of his smartest students) was baffled by the FEC filing requirements.
Who said he was baffled? He made a mistake, on a section of the paperwork that an FEC commissioner admits people commonly make mistakes about. Big whup!
