GEM – ON THE STATE OF LAW:

QUOTE: “The Average Joe Structured His Life To Never Need A Lawyer”

“Contrary to popular belief, there really aren’t that many unresolved legal questions these days, the 20th century was so litigation heavy that the courts issued ruling on practically every kind of scenario imaginable and if the corporations were ever on the losing end of those cases the court usually said something like “if only they had done x” and so the corporation either did x or made the employee sign a contract specifically agreeing to the situation.

“Basically the corporations spent the 20th century learning how to cover their arses, and now we are starting to see that the plaintiff almost always loses.

Furthermore, lawyers were so expensive for so long that the average joe structured his life in a way so as to never be in a situation that would require a lawyer…with the exception of family law.” – Joe Black
