A version of this text first appeared in response to the question of who did more harm or good: Lawyers or Oil Men. It was one of those random post that got written because of something which someone else posted which, frankly, I thought to be just plain dumb. At the time, I really wasn’t even out to address the question of if Oil Men as a class did more good than harm (as should soon be evident) and my arrows were only aimed at the legal profession in America.

Good post!
Unfortunately, 90% of FReepers will show up to tell you how crazy you are.
The majority of Americans no longer understand the different types of law that we have in our country.
Probably because government has spent the last several generations trying to meld it all into one big lump o' law.

I agree with you in parts, but your take on legal language simply does not ring true.
I don't blame my plumber or my electrician because I don't understand how the pipes or wires in my house work. I hire a professional to do that for me.
I have no idea what you are talking about on the administrative law business. There can be civil and criminal reprocussions for a single act (i.e. drunk driving) and you may be confusing the two.
Good lawyering is an art and skill, and is no different than any number of professions that have grown more complicated over the years. (i.e. auto repair)

". . . our legal system . . . no longer happens in a language that is actually English."
Sure saying you're not what I'm.
