Yeah, or we could just hold lawyers to higher standards and expect them to do their due diligence like they should anytime they submit court documents. The one time I had to go through a lawyer for something involving a court case, they sent a PDF document of a court filing they were going to submit on my behalf for me to review and sign. I noticed multiple errors and made a detailed list of pg# and paragraph where each correction was needed, sent it back to them. A day or two later I got a "revised" copy of the document back that not only missed some of the errors I had called out, but introduced additional errors. At that point, given what I was paying per hour for their "services", I said fuck it, opened up the PDF and made the corrections myself, then signed it and sent it on.
I'm sure it was just being handled by a paralegal or an intern or whatever, but it was aggravating that I basically had to do the lawyer's job for them, since going through multiple rounds of corrections would've likely cost me more than just doing it myself.
