Agreed. I'm a lawyer, too, though questions like this are not my area of expertise. I'm just envisioning a scenario where the lawyer doesn't know the answer (which shouldn't be the case), maybe is doing what he or she has been told, and has to spend time researching the answer. Shouldn't happen, but I know it does.
