Re: "Some still do,like CA." Really? I didn't know that. Cool,IMO, of course. Hmmm..his education was fine indeed. Education in general was better then, perhaps. What ever happened to, ahh...McGuffies Reader? Kids today don't get that at the same age they got it back then...they aren't asked to, either- not at all. Believe me, Grasping the significance of law hasn't changed much, IMO, anyway. That Grandpa of mine was a prosecuting attorney at one time, one who intervued all his witnesses himself, had no staff or help at all, handled some 400% more cases per year than were handled by the prosecutor in the same but larger town when he died, and all this while taking the whole summer off most years. As he watched these guys work in his older days, he considered them lazy. The actual work output was deemed less by him. Maybe it's so that because the above facts were true(not necessarily his conclusion), it makes your point in some apparently large way. But, somehow I think if you look close, you'll see changing laws and times really never did offset the level of work he undertook, or the competence he had, and he viewed what he felt was laziness, correctly.
