If Your Legal System Were a [], What Kind of a [] Would It Be?

While Mark S. Weiner was in Euope last year, he asked a number of legal professionals to compare their legal systems to music, animals, sport. Here's the result. Very interesting....
Is the U.S. legal system a cat? Herding cats is impossible, as we know. You can start out all right, but those cats, they soon get off track (your track, not theirs). So, maybe not a cat. A goldfish in a bowl, swimming around in circles? Maybe not--the legal system does aim for resolutions. A swallow, headed for Capistrano, or a salmon, going upstream? If the U.S. legal system were a sport, would it be baseball, or football? Maybe chess? I like the idea of chess...
