I am sure if they figure out a way to make the best answers and best advice givers float to the top, similar to the seeking alpha cred system it will become very useful. Information wants to be free and the law is free to access, but difficult to gain access to for the layman.

My concern is the legal profession makes it's bacon by keeping the law mysterious and vexing. Legalese is often needlessly complicated and obfuscates a contracts true intention. As long as lawyers and law students continue writing in Plain English this will be a great tool to cut through all the crap.

Like all things the answer is not black and white. The most important thing people should do solve the environmental issues related to consumption is to consume less or pre-cycle. It's true we shouldn't be recycling plastic bottles, in fact we shouldn't be using them at all.

Similarly we shouldn't be using recycled paper we should stop using paper.

The line "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is ordered by importance and effectiveness.
