If you squint a bit at the French word maladroit (translated into English as 鈥渃lumsy鈥�) it can look like you are saying (in French) 鈥渂ad at law.鈥� This seems like it would be a very bad thing indeed since we tend to think of the law as something that we want to only ever be good.
"The law is clumsy because it is, well, the law", suggests the title of this talk. It clearly suggests that we cannot expect the law not to be clumsy. The discourse of law is always awkward - not just sometimes - and lawyers (and litigants) must live with this awkwardness, understand it and work with it.
