It’s not that you have to be professional to understand, it’s that professionals reliably do. The vast majority of Americans can’t even name what the Bill of Rights does, or what the enumerated powers of Congress are, for example. It’s not that these are inaccessible pieces of knowledge, but people aren’t aware of them.
With a basic grounding in civics and after brushing up on the laws in question, I think most people could follow along.
- threatofrain 3y agoNo, they can't. There is no legal codebase in the world that is grokkable to ordinary people anymore. 8th grade story-telling level of understanding is not the performance level you need in the legal game. That's enough understanding to make you sound smart while getting into trouble.
