We might have this one -> https://decoded.legal/blog/2021/11/running-a-law-firm-on-linux/
someone reach out! I feel a house lawyer in the making.
They have an update: https://decoded.legal/blog/2024/09/running-a-law-firm-on-free-software-2024-edition/
IANAL but my attorney once told me he witnessed a guy defending himself in court for involuntary manslaughter saying "I didn't see the red light because I was drunk."
I know a person from my town that defended himself for murder and refused a lawyer because "they weren't there, how could they know what happened!?" He didn't get a lite sentence.
That's basically just proving the "Involuntary" part.
LOL exactly! Why drive drunk in the first place?
Here's a better question:
Scientists. . how many laws have been gazetted that completely ignore or contradict actual science?
I'm not even a scientist but I know that it's A LOT, I don't think it would be easy to get an actual number
