Not as I framed it. But you introduce new parameters...

It depends on the "society". All law systems are conceived as protective of some kind of communal or social or political interest - law is older than states and alien ruling classes. Some old communal systems still exist, and serve their original purposes - Romania isn't the world.

It's called adjusting to reality. Do you want lawyers to be political reactionaries who oppose change so that they don't have to bother learning new things?

I don't see anything wrong with that. If I had a case in law, I would want a good lawyer to help me, as I would want a physician to tend to illness, or a cobbler to fix my shoes.

Better for me how?
