Mannnn, back when I was a law student I had similarly deep and profound notions about how Lawyers Just Didn't Get It.

Turns out, good lawyers are kinda smart. Like doctors, obnoxiously so.

In Common Law jurisdictions, the law is an evolved complex system.

It is complicated because the problem domain -- everything humans do -- is sorta kinda complex, guys.

Don't think of law as a fixed entity, which "is an ass".

Think of law as a discovery process.
