Lawyers are like the great buffalo of the 1800s, locked in a stampede for extinction.

Is the cliff two years away or five? Those in the middle of the herd will not survive, because they won't be able to turn unless they start to move now. Those on the edges may have an option to change direction.

Even those with the physical ability to avoid the cliff will have to understand that the cliff is close in order to understand the need to change direction.
