I think if people are open to learning, they can learn by being fed information. Teachers feed students information but teachers leave it to the students to
absorb and apply what has been presented. The benefit to having an attorney help with legal matters is that an attorney has already been fed the information and absorbed it and has learned how to apply it.
I try to direct posters to the sources where they can find the information they are requesting. What they do with the information after that, and how they do it, is left up to them.
Following, for Casey's benefit, are two additional links to information, this time to sources on the Federal Tort Claims Act.
