Once again proving something that I learned when I started hanging out
with law students and lawyers several years ago: You don't need any
particular intelligence to become a lawyer; just a bit of money and
determination. A good head for rote memorization helps, but isn't
strictly necessary. A good head for analytical reason is totally
irrelevant.
