Why is having even a few lawyers a good thing?

[TheThirdRuffian]

“Why is having even a few lawyers a good thing?”

Because we are a nation of laws, not of men.

(Or we used to be.)

Good lawyers are really good for business, as noted in the article. Write clear contracts, resolve disputes, figure out fair allocations of risk, ownership, etc.

Basically they read the back of the box in the board game of life so we don’t have to.
