Law is a versatile instrument that can be used equally well for the
improvement or the degradation of humanity. This, of course, puts law in
a very significant position. In our rapidly developing world, all sorts
of skills and knowledge are valuable. Those people, for example, with
knowledge of computers, the internet, and communications technology are
relied upon by the rest of us. There is now someone with IT skills or an
IT help desk in every UK school, every company, every hospital, every
local and central government office. Without their knowledge, many parts
of commercial and social life today would seize up in minutes. But legal
understanding is just as vital and as universally needed. The American
comedian Jerry Seinfeld put it like this: 'We are all throwing the dice,
playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there is a
problem, the lawyer is the only person who has read the inside of the
top of the box.' In other words, the lawyer is the only person who has
read and made sense of the rules.
