Oh, that's interesting. Very impressive. My apologies for the misunderstanding :) I've seen far far worse legal understanding reviewing the writing of first and second year associates as a paralegal, in a previous job.

I do monitor the few comments of a few (especially rayiner and grellas.) I'm quickly learning that when they make legal arguments it's best to shut up and let them educate me.

Also, I've interestingly met a few people with JDs who go into finance, management, engineers as patent attorneys, and even one who went into high-risk bail bonds.
