"If we say that law is a calculus of events, with emphasis on the relation of 'causality', then I think we have a description of law that bears some relation to what lawyers actually do, but which doesn't paint them as dangerous idiots from the computer-science point of view." -- Matthew Skala, "Colour, social beings, and undecidability", 2004-08-09. (Note that in context, the quote is a little less amusing but, IMNSHO, much more interesting. For more context than the essay in which this quote appears, in a previous essay Mr. Skala pointed out ways in which computer scientists and lawyers look like 'dangerous idiots or possibly Commie Mutant Traitors' from the perspectives of each other's fields. Thanks to ysabel for pointing out the first essay.)
