    I hate lawyer speak with a passion

    Everyone knows what we’re talking about here, what we mean, and so do you

      And yet if one wishes to ask:

      That is inherently the realm of lawyer speak because you’re asking what the law says about something.

      The alternative is vigilantism and “mob justice.” That’s not a good thing.
