There is a lot more litigation involving lawyer malpractice. It is definitely a growing trend . Legal handbooks these days do everything but condone outright lying. Said one nonlawyer, Lawyers draw up laws so nobody including themselves can understand them. It makes business for them.
Judges have to decide in courts what laws mean and sometimes they reverse themselves.
Laws could be drafted that would be clear and simple if they wanted to. Another nonlawyer is quoted, Lawyers make lousy legislators because they have too much of a technical attitutde. They can t look at it as a layman can. They can t see practical problems. They are too much interested in legal technicalities.
