I’m gonna be honest, this one’s not so strange; the law is gigantic with many little details in it that you have to specialize. This isn’t general practitioner level medicine where any dimwit yokel can be like ‘hyuck, put some cream on it!’; this actually takes years of practice and learning to get every little detail of how the laws work, using precedents and fact finding. The law is vast and every area, every little detail contains a world of little laws and how they’re affected, and even different states can have their own versions of those laws; this isn’t just looking at someone’s anus and putting on your big boy hat and saying ‘hurdy hur, thar’s a hemorrhoid!’
Well the legal specialization isn’t that weird but advertising yourself with guitar riffs and crazy nicknames is something I’ve ever heard of outside of America
A friend of mine from New Zealand was visiting once. We put on the radio and an ad for a local lawyer started playing with metal music and an aggressive dude asking if you’ve been injured by inhaling hydrogen sulfide. My friend was slack jawed at hearing it and I couldn’t blame him. It’s very weird.
The insanely specific law is man made and part of culture. So it’s still an example of weird culture. It’s also specifically USian, because other countries have laws too, but not these insanely specialized lawyers to this extend nor their bizarre advertisements everywhere.
