The whole common law judicial process is adversarial and hence the lawyers of both sides concentrate on their own argument so the Judge can make an informed decision.
The problem is, one of the lawyers always sucks so the judge receives a very unbalanced view.
Hence, lawyers are selfish bastards only interested in advancing their own case. By doing this, justice gets fucked over because judges can't know everything about the law, that's not their job. And because they don't know every aspect of the law, all you have is lawyers coming down to techinicalities that don't really have shit all to do with justice.

Thank God that their are some judges out there who actually know the law and can smell lawyers and their bullshit from a mile away.

A mental disorder. Dietary characteristics include calling oneself a vegitarian, and then eating meat. Have a veracious appetite for chocolate bars, drinking inhuman (possibly angelic) amounts of diet coke.
It also includes a paranoia in which the person believes that every individual of the opposite sex (and then some) wants to propagate (screw) them so hard that Jesus falls off the cross. Waist size is not part of this consideration.
The most major symptom is believing that they "could" have been a lawyer. A very smart lawyer at that, who may graduate from lawyer school. As well thinking that carrying more than $20 means that they are super, ultra wealthy.
People who have diagnosed with lawyerism seem to have a tendency to "F" up grocery stores and respectful managers.

"I think that "Witful" girl should study into lawyerism. (Polite way to say that someone is a good candidate of this disorder)

a blind man who is <in the canadian system anyways> protecting either the wrongly prosecuted or the clearly guilty but can only trust the truths or lies that are only words coming from the mouth of the prosecuted that might be false and either way cause suffering if the prosecuted wins or looses often bringing an image of a scummy person

The word your friend says when they use fancy law terms in otherwise petty arguments to showcase their knowledge of legal vocabulary to boost their already oversized ego for knowing the annals of the books you see on your grandpa's shelf.
"The majority of us want whataburger so we should go there"
"According to law blah blah blah blah blah, majority doesn't matter in this situation because blah blah blah blah blah. Boom, lawyered

Writing in a way in which only lawyers can understand with words that might even be made up or abbreviations that have little to do with the actual concepts involved.
