It is a common enough instinct. ''Everyone'' — not just lawyers, come to think of it — likes to believe herself special, privy to something critical; dangerous; ''delicate'' — information that, should it fall into the wrong hands, may wreak great ill upon its owner or the poor unsuspecting random. | |||
If we were to see the standard facilitating text by which our clients tether their fortunes to each other not as magic but as a free public resource this would ''not'' put battalions of [[legal eagle]]s out of work; which seems to be their operating assumption. It would allow them to concentrate on ''valuable'' work. | |||
