One of the many benefits of being a practitioner/professional thrust into the role of an educator is the self-examination process. I mean that both with respect to my own actions as a lawyer as well as my fellow professionals. When you prepare lectures to students on different areas of the law, some stuff just jumps right out at you as supremely odd.
I spent the past couple weeks on a variety of topics relating to foreign investors in China, including labor and taxation. These subjects are generally straightforward, and the lawyers that practice in these fields (and write about it) pretty much tell it like it is with surprisingly little pretension. It might be extremely complicated figuring out what is the correct amount of severance owed to a terminated worker, for example, but your average labor lawyer doesn't therefore go out and proclaim to the world that labor law is akin to rocket science.
Other areas of the law are different.
