Anyone who has ever done any criminal defense work can appreciate Ken's observations about jailhouse lawyers over at CrimLaw.
Although I was a prosecutor during most of my professional career, I did do a lot of court-appointed defense work for a few years and from both perspectives I agree with Chad's comment, that attorneys who defend indigent clients in criminal cases have the toughest and least appreciated job in law.
If a client had waved a section of the UCC under my nose convinced that it was the key to his defense for Grand Theft, I might have been tempted to say something like "but have you considered the application of section 3 of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act?"
