Lawyers are our garden's weed, but needed by the innocent.
When guilt is clear, there's still the need to minimize your punishment. We ridicule but envy those sharp twisters of judicial code. Imperfect law their legion sows like road blocks on the Justice road. Their greatest sin, most folks agree is not unbridled sophistry but idiom that's parsed for mystery, and used to fool both you and me. Yet we pick them to write our laws like sheep who choose the wolf as guard.
