Common Sense & The Law

A lot of people think that lawyers are soooo smart.

It is true that lawyering requires some intelligence. After all, lawyers must juggle copious amounts of information, write some stuff, and read some stuff. Sure, that takes some brains.

But at the end of the day, lawyering requires common sense, not genius. Who are the parties? What do they want? How can they get it?

Law is low-down, dirty common sense.
