The difference between "good" and "great" lawyering is practically invisible before the fact. You only notice its effects after, and by then it looks simple and obvious—but it never was, which is why few can do it that well. I suspect this observation has applications in many other fields too.

Same with any well-designed system. If it’s really well done, the design becomes invisible and looks like the only way that makes any sense.

I doubt that most lawyers without extensive subject matter expertise can tell if someone else's lawyering was remotely competent, even after the fact.

Lots and lots of management is like this. You only know you did it right months and months later, and by then it all seems obvious.

I would add that, most of the time, good lawyering is sufficient. Client-significant outcome differences between good & great lawyering occur in a minority of instances. That clause of your contract that might have been more exquisitely drafted probably won’t hurt you.

This is why there’s so much mythos around the rockstar programmer. A lot of the work is the regular grind, code maintenance, updating libraries, monitoring, implementing new algorithms. But when a well designed system comes together it’s magic.

This is why I thought bad lawyering was helpful to see when I was clerking: you’d see some problem and immediately think “well I won’t ever do *that*”
