The law profession is also going though a rationalization as well.
It never will be like driving a bus. Do not sell yourself short. I do not think I bus driver could land nor take off a jet on a clear day with everything working much less do it on a cruddy day with a major or minor malfunction. What we do is a profession. It takes brains and skills. Skills that are not easily taught. Like a lawyer or surgeon, it is easy to put on the lab coat and preform the everyday procedures, but it takes time and honing of those skills and hand eye coordination to perfect it.
