 Goals:
 *Not to defend as necessary everything you currently do, or everything you like doing, or everything  you feel you ought to do. To identify ways to better deploy your skills.
+===Great canards of inhouse legal===
+*“I am not qualified in that jurisdiction”. Shop-steward behaviour from the international federation of law societies
+===Theories===
+*'''Lawyers should make more calls''': the team is structurally more experienced than it was 10y are go. you do not, by dint of a title escalation, suddenly acquire unique insight to the questions “how likely are we do get sued” and “how much money is at stake if we lose” that you did not have before.
+:*Send fewer matters out: you are a lawyer. You make a call. There must be a reason you cannot make the call:
+:*“by regulation, it requires a written reasoned opinion I cannot give”
+:*“It requires the resources of a standing army and I do not have one”
+:*“It is a matter of great sophistication, requiring specialist knowledge I do not have, and much is at stake if I get it wrong”.
+*'''[[Ignorance of the law is no excuse]]''': BAU legal knowledge lives with the business. It therefore requires someone senior enough to make the call that this is not BAU legal.
