As a thought experiment, I considered what the requirements of an in-house lawyer for The e-Sword Users Foundation would be.
Given the global presence of e-Sword, the lawyer would need to know the fundamentals of:
- Continental European law;
- British Common Law;
- US Statute Law, Case Law, and Constitutional Law;
- Code Napoleon;
- Roman Dutch Law;
- Hispanic Law;
- Indian Law;
- Chinese Law;
- Japanese Law;
- Canon Law;
- Shari'a & Fiqh;
- Halakha;
Their second speciality would be non-profit law;
Their third speciality would be tax-exempt law;
Their fourth speciality would be patent law;
I'm not sure which part of the educational process would be easier:
- Learning the ins and outs of those legal systems;
- Learning the ins and outs of copyright law;
- Learning the ins and outs of tax-exempt law;
- Learning the ins and outs of non-profit law;
- Learning the ins and outs of patent law;
Obviously I am looking for SuperLawyer.
