# Wellspring: Legislative process
## Technical consultation during the legislative process.
## Technical consultation
> [Apologia]: In an ideal world, the legislature would not be filled with lawyers and non-technical people, but technical expertise does not confer an understanding of how to adapt legislation to that field of expertise. Instead experience has shown that political philosophers and lawyers, when brought up to speed with the technical particulars, can more readily fit those particulars into their political philosophy's model. Obviously the ideal politician is one who is both knowledgeable about law, economics and philosophy; and about the particular technical field s/he is attempting to legislate -- i.e, a technically experienced politician. However, since the norm is likely to be that non-technical politicians will be attempting to govern things they generally do not understand, the technical consultation is intended to bring them up to speed.
