However I fear many risk-averse lawyers will not, simply because they may have seen what happens when you mix ingredients that weren't meant to be together (see: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM</a>)<br><br>More seriously, "safe-fail" is a good idea, unfortunately any sort of failure can be seen as unsafe in a law-firm and is to be avoided at all costs. Certainly that has been my experience in law firms. Dear Mary,

More seriously, “safe-fail” is a good idea, unfortunately any sort of failure can be seen as unsafe in a law-firm and is to be avoided at all costs. Certainly that has been my experience in law firms.
