It’s creepy seeing a gif that:

1. It looks like you and
2. Something someone might actually catching you doing

If, like Clay Shirky wrote, coming into the information age was like the gin craze
before the industrial age, then we as a society needs to go to AA, because I think we traded Gin for whiskey.

There are good lawyers & bad lawyers. But we still know they follow the law. The power is in the
institutions and systems that make them.

Journalists should be the same. The more I think about this, the more I like it.

• Lawyers have a “bar” organization that oversee’s the overarching ethics of behaviour
• Judges are external arbiters. Should an editor be the same?
• There is an open system of archives.
• Lawyers need to pass additional standards
• Not being a lawyer doesn’t preclude you from participating, but you’re still not a “lawyer”
• Law firms are legally set up in a specific way and can’t be set up otherwise
• Lawyers buy into ownership/partnership, and therefore have several fiduciary duties to balance

Have any more points to add?
