On a fork without lawyer lips, when the wheel is removed and replaced, a properly adjusted quick release skewer will not need much (if any) adjustment.

Lawyer lips make skewer re-adjustment mandatory each time.

I am dismayed that so many of you have trouble properly tightening your skewers. Velcro closures for shoes must be a Godsend for you.

My advice to file off the lawyer lips requires so much effort and skill, that it ought to weed out those for whom lawyer lips were designed for in the first place.
