Y'all ready for this conspiracy theory about lawyers?

1. Can't legally lie, but they trade in half-truths and misleading language
2. Obsessed with contracts
3. Required to follow the letter (but not the spirit) of the law
4. Really good at exploiting loopholes
5. Range from semi-helpful to openly malevolent

Conclusion: Fairies. Lawyers are fae folk

Attorneys are necessary because attorneys exist, and the opposing side will have one, so you'd better. Attorneys chiefly read law, not because it's a beautiful story, but to identify the areas where it doesn't actually say what it looks like it says, doesn't mean what it sounds like it means..

When it does say what it looks like it says, they then ferret out a judge or two who at some point in time ruled that it didn't really say that.

There should be at least one more acceptable answer to 'How do you plead?' In addition to "Guilty" and "Not Guilty"
we should add, "Dunno yet. Ask my lawyer."
