Lotta Lawyers

I am constantly amazed at how many lawyers find their way into the UN in one way or another. Obviously, the UN doesn't really practice law (except for the odd tribunal here or there). Most of these folks seem to be document jockeys in some kind of advocacy role. Women's issues, rights of childrent, etc. However, some of them are in really weird jobs, like peace keeping and such. Maybe the papery nature of the UN is attractive to people with good documentation skills...
