Prolixity of life

From page 2 of Philippine Administrative Law, 2007 Edition (available here) by Carlo L. Cruz:


Wikipedia says prolixity is just another word for verbosity or wordiness (see here). Interestingly, Wikipedia refers to prolixity as "the length of a monologue or speech, especially a formal address such as a lawyer's oral argument."

Is Prof. Cruz trying to say that the verbosity of lawyers necessitated Administrative Law? I'd like to think that Prof. Cruz meant complexity.
