It's the same thing, in my mind, as knowing about the legislative process. It's not a bad thing to know, but at the same time the public is very much results-oriented and doesn't care about or wants to ignore the process.
That's obviously painting things with broad brush strokes, so take it as you will...

I preface this by saying, I'm not anti-lawyer by any stretch of the imagination, but some of what makes it hard to follow is the efforts of lawyers and legal language. We need an entire devoted, specified, occupational class of folks to deal with it, and I'm not sure that's a pure coincidence.
