Lawyers are trained to respond this way. If I had a nickel for every time I heard this about temp attorneys or paralegals starting 15 years ago I would not be monitoring The Posse List! I would be monitoring the sunset. And, there are tons of examples beyond that. One of these decades, this will change. Hopefully sooner.
