It's because the law is wildly complex to a layman. They see magic happening when a lawyer cleverly applies the law and think they can be clever as well. A word or a phrase can make or break a case.

Recent example; NY State charging Luigi with terrorism. People thought the state was tacking on a bullshit charge. Well, kinda. A terrorism charge is the only way state law allows a charge of first-degree murder (in this case).

tl;dr; People see technicalities applied, think they can learn this without going to law school.
