No, it does not. The whole purpose of the lawyer is to interpret the
law for her client and make appropriate recommendations; if the client
could do that by just reading a list of citations, he wouldn't need a
lawyer.

Lawyers submit jurisprudence for the purpose of persuading other
lawyers (such as judges). That is the last thing they would normally
do for most clients, and if that's all they did, then they would
certainly be falling short of their duty to clients.

> Those that do lose their cases and clients

Unfortunately, no. Jury trials are usually decided by factors other
than citations of existing jurisprudence.

Well, since the USSR was definitely Communist.........

The Nazis nationalized many businesses. Socialist by definition.
