I hear people saying that about Monads sometimes.
Statisticly people representing themself in court have very little chance to win a case.
The sheer amount of data you need to assimilate to just have an idea of what you need to do makes dealing with law a complex matter. Add this complexity to jargon, social and political dynamics and of course, experience, and you have a very complicated problem.
The law is not just an isolated set of words of paper. It's an intricate piece of a several systems.
But you don't need to go this far to prove my point. Take any recent bill, and make your grandma read it, then write a summary of it. She votes, but can she understand it ?
