> Why? I wouldn't expect any lawyer to have the law completely memorized. That isn't what I wrote. In any case it's not what I meant. I'm not an attorney, however my experience has shown me there are various kinds of practitioners of law. I have had tax attorneys and business attorneys on the stand in mediation where they looked foolish in front of the mediation panel due to not knowing off the top of their heads the subjects they purported to be expert. There are no reference materials for them to look anything up at that point.
