unnecessary complications
One of the odd things about being a lawyer (other than a defense lawyer or prosecutor) is that everyone (including people whom you help, like clients) hates you, or they think of you as being a necessary evil. They sometimes think that they are wasting their money by paying a lawyer to write stuff up or to hear a lawyer tell them no. They sometimes think that they need a lawyer to protect themselves from other lawyers.
Of course, what they really mean, but are mostly blind (either out of willfulness or lack of self-reflection), is that the law was created to restrict us from our baser instincts and that lawyers are the necessary little gnomes who maintain this vast machinery of laws. Law creates order and trust among strangers (assuming that everyone knows the rules and the rules are enforced evenly). Order and trust facilitate peace and commerce. Can you tell that I have become Lawful Neutral?
When my in-house clients (i.e. the business people in the company I work for) ask why accounting rules (which were developed because of legal requirements) are so vague or why some laws are so complicated, the answer is that because sometimes people need more guidance than "Be truthful and don't be evil" and because the law and rules were made because someone, a few years ago, was an *sshole and as a result, a loophole had to be closed. Too bad I can't say that, and too bad they're too dumb to see it.
