Accept for that fact that most the people making the laws are not lawyers AFAIK. Lawyers are most likely over represented in our elected legislative bodies, but they don't have a lock on things. If anything, one might say it is a little odd that we don't require some formal training in law for people who we intrust to make our laws. Can you imagine having say an Engineering Body, or Medical Body, tasked with defining the rules for those fields, where the requirements for holding office were all about place of birth (and or parents) and age, and zilch about competency in the related field? On the face of it, that is would we have for government.
