HUH ? That is literally their job !
Legal document review is bread and butter for lawyers.
Having productive conversations with laypeople is what lawyers do all day every day.
I really don't get your point.
If a lawyer is unable to have a productive conversation with a layperson about a legal document, then they need to be stripped of their qualifications.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoThat’s not their job - their job is to make persuasive legal arguments, craft legal language to be ironclad, etc. Similarly a top researchers in CS isn’t employed for their ability to explain CS, despite the fact we employ them to do just that.
- yunwal 4y agoThere are plenty of lawyers who are not competent at their jobs, but can be convincing to uninformed laypeople.
