Here’s how evolution actually works in a legal context. Lawyers are like [[gene]]s. They are mindless replicating engines. It is what they do: they ''spawn''. They combine to create {{tag|contract}}s. The contracts have variations in them. Good contracts that are fit for a given purpose will replicate more easily than bad ones that are not. T hey will [[evolve]], not ''towards'' a perfect golden mean, but away ''from'' the imperfect gerrymandered place in which we find ourselves today, and into an imperfect gerrymandered one we’ll be in tomorrow.
