98 Employment/Jobs/Lawyers

Some view lawyers as cripples that hate dancers, old serpents who cannot shed their skin and call others naked and shameless, oxen that love their yoke and deem the forest deer a vagrant thing, vampires that turn their back to the sun and see only their shadows, and these shadows are their laws. But to most they are simply venal molluscs in league with the Devil.
The most repellent Lawyer is Maximally Von Lucrative the inventor of Jurisprudence- Jurisprudence. The philosophy and theory of law is Jurisprudence, and is complicated enough. Max created the philosophy and theory of the law of the philosophy and theory of law. So labyrinthine that the definition alone could make Albert Einstein’s ears bleed.
Philosophers are a subclass of magician - concept magicians, and so deserve the same scorn as magicians (see 56 Jobs/Entertainment Industry/Magicians). Lawyers are a type of magician too – word magicians, and so also deserve contempt.
Essentially Von Lucrative is a magician four times over. Ordinarily this would mean that the whole of nature and its laws would shun Max. No creature would be able to stand his presence; no light would reflect from him, no strata would support his passing, he would be banished from the Universe. However, Von Lucrative managed to find a loophole. Nature has appealed, but there is nothing natural about Law so will fail.
Max is currently working for Bill Gates trying to outsmart Benedict Farse.
