Ernie writes about the infamous Rule Against Perpetuities (which, I must note, does not apply to this website). The Rule is so complex that a California court once ruled (in Lucas v. Hamm, 56 Cal.2d 583 (Cal. 1961) ) that a lawyer who misapplied the Rule was not liable for malpractice.
(The original discussion flows from Beldar and Legal Underground.)
