Disagree. They're stressed, but not nearly as insecure. Lawyers can never admit being wrong. A lot seem to have this terminal fear of sounding stupid. So what they do is spend their time fixating on little rules (blue book cites, arcane grammatical rules) and ripping on others' mistakes in those arenas to make themselves feel smarter. Its like those idiots who speak about "synergies" and "organizational pro-activity" who make fun of the guy who screws up the lingo. They're never really getting to the substance of anything, or making any decisions - they're just constantly hedging to look smart. And God forbid they ever have to make a fucking decision.
I hope this doesn't sound stupid, and I wasn't sure whether I should point this out, but, at the end of the day, although I'm not sure what your real point is, you should note that it's "it's," not "its" in this context.
