I have a couple lawyer friends, and I promise you this was a hotbutton issue for their profession long before there ever were "Web Designers". I've learned to steer conversations away from legal issues, even idly, even when it's clear I'm not asking for advice.

Thankfully, my sister is about to pass the bar and take a job in corp law, so I'll have a free resource that I have no compunctions about bothering (hey, if she's not going to babysit, she can at least review contracts!).

(Not-so-thankfully, she'll be making more than I do straight out of college. This bothers me in a very sharp and visceral way.)

Don't worry. In exchange for their salaries, corporate lawyers have to accept their lives sucking.
