For years I have been saying that the law in
Law and Order equals the police, and the order equals the lawyers. For years, I have been told I am wrong; I have been told that the police keep the order and the lawyers keep the law. I maintained that the police enforce the law and the lawyers enforce the order to the law. Well, ladies and gentleman, I am right! Yesterday I saw a commercial for
Law and Order that identified the police as the law part of law and order. So there! This should be particularly interesting to a particular reader who was on the wrong side of this argument...
My position remains the same. What do lawyers do to keep order? Nothing! It makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it was law = police, order = lawyers. I mean the show is "Law and Order" and not "Order and Law".
