Light reading
The other day I read the 115 part tome of one guy’s fight with a large corporation and its lawyers at TaubmanSucks.com. I didn’t read the details of all the motions and briefs, etc., but I did read enough to gain a new perspective on the American legal system. Things I learned:
- Lawyers (at least those in this case) are titanically arrogant and condescending.
- Lawyers lie when not under oath (come to think of it, are they ever under oath?).
- Lawyers like to wrangle over minute details (more hours equals more money).
- There are good people doing pro bono work.
- There is some sanity (he won finally).
