Nice. Spoken like a true lawyer.

How did legal fees get so high anyway? Do lawyers perform a task more skillfull than (say) software engineers? It seems under $350/h a lawyer won't move a finger. Software engineers do not (typically) make $350/h.

Also it looks like high lawyer fees are at least partially a US phenomenon.
