The author, a lawyer, expresses surprise at how many people seem completely unaware of how legal systems work. They mention encountering intelligent people (possibly with Asperger's) who have some grasp of the law, but online comments show many others lack basic knowledge.
Here are some examples the author found puzzling:
Someone wanting to sue for emotional distress in small claims court (usually for minor financial disputes). The belief that legal fees are automatically covered by the losing party. Contacting the Department of Labor over a job interview mismatch. The idea of simply reporting someone to the police for perceived wrongs (usually reserved for serious offenses). The author emphasizes that legal knowledge is crucial and avoids offering advice on unfamiliar topics.
