How many lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb?
15th November 2017
Twelve.
One to draft the contract that will define which lightbulb is the subject of the change. Two to research precedents and caselaw for the legislation about the changing of lightbulbs from 1904. One to write the letter giving advice regarding the risks of making the change against not making the change. Three to argue over the meaning of 'lightbulb', 'change' and 'lawyers'. Four to file applications for a judicial review on whether the lightbulb even needs changing and of course, one to actually change the bulb.
