Before I decided to be a chef, I briefly studied law. My work experience let me read some old family law cases... I can honestly say, there is not enough unsee juice to ever completely erase what I read in those files

ACCURATE. My office handles a pretty even mix of family, litigation, personal injury and criminal defense, and the family clients are ALWAYS the craziest ones. The criminals are almost always the most sane and the most pleasant.

I worked as a receptionist for a law firm for a while. A father employed one lawyer, the son employed another lawyer…at the same firm…and the two spent their times suing one another…using lawyers that worked at the same firm.

Sounds highly unethical, if it really happened, as clear conflict of interest. Could lose your licence.

While lawyer-hate is blown way out of proportion, one has to admit, it’s quite funny that having a negative opinion of them goes back to before Shakespeare. A character in Henry VI, Part 2 (act 4, scene 2, line 73) argues that “The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,” reflecting that, at least among the common folk, the legal profession was not popular.
While there are cases of lawyers with questionable morals, more often than not, a lot of hate stems from the fact that they simply understand the arena they play in better than most people. If you have ever seen someone attempt to represent themselves in court, you will know just how poorly that often goes.

Not being mean, but an online sig is safer than one going through the mail. Not going into the long dissertation why.

I'll sign contracts electronically but I'm reading a physical copy first. Sorry, but reading a digital copy, you're much more likely to miss something and can't easily flip back and forth. That means me printing out the electronic version that was sent to me. Though I do like the story about the renter that inserted a clause specifying that the landlord had to give him a birthday cake every year. Landlord signed it without reading it - and honored the deal!

Fun fact I just learned: according to the internet the average life expectency in the US as a whole is roughly 79 years, while with the Amish it‘s 85 years. They must do something right (and I‘m guessing it‘s the food, activity and fresh air). It‘s even higher than in Europe.

This reminds me of a story where a person was accused of plagerism. The accuser showed how the person copied word for word with a smug look until the accused showed that he was the one that actually wrote it.

My husband says in law school they used to teach his mother's cousin in his trial law class.
Because lawyers historically were often asked to execute the laws of others and because they tend to have a very good understanding of what they can and can’t do, people on the receiving end might end up quite unhappy. English poet John Gray, as part of The Beggar's Opera, stated that “If Lawyer's Hand is fee'd, sir, He steals your whole estate.”

There has been contract litigation that turned on the use of the Oxford comma.

What exactly is the Oxford comma? Just correct interpunction in general?
HTakeover 1 year ago (edited)
Using Flora Porter's example, without the comma, those last two items are presumed to be together rather than separate items. So if you were told to put those items in different containers, you would put apples in one container, and oranges & bananas in another container. With the comma, each gets its own container. When you start talking contracts & duties, multiple millions of $$ have been gained or lost because of that distinction. A different example changes the entire sentence meaning: "I invited the rhinos, George, and Frank." vs "I invited the rhinos, George and Frank." The former means you invited, George, Frank, and some rhinos. The latter means you invited two rhinos named George and Frank.

Sometimes even the defense when a bit incapacitated. My lawyer was hung over and didn't say a word when the judge said he was missing the drug evaluation I was supposed to have done before sentencing. I had to interrupt and speak up in court and ask him to look again because the court had four different copies. He sentenced me to probation and gave my lawyer the most evil come hither finger I've ever seen. I still remember the lady from probation who told me to have that evaluation done before sentencing or I would be going to prison, she saved my butt. My lawyer just looked traumatized when he left the judge's chambers
It doesn’t help that, for example, many law school graduates indicate that they want to go into corporate law, which most folks see as a sort of amorphous, amoral blob. Even worse are the “ambulance chasers.” For those outside of the US, an ambulance chaser is a “strategy” where personal injury lawyers will seek out the scene of an accident and attempt to convince the victim to sue.

And waiting... And waiting... Politely trying to remind them that you said this particular long-winded,irrelevant detail does not matter, has Ben sorted, is covered in the paperwork and finally trying to use this irrepressible urge as a point in the case just to shut them up. (I ended up writing on the paperwork 'do not ask the client anything about this. Their condition makes them unable to ignore the topic and discuss it in great detail. The assessor on the panel asked... The judge awarded after the eighth consecutive minute of trying to interrupt and shut the client up)
While these cases do exist, it’s important to remember that a lawyer is just one component of a larger game. Between laws, those who make them, those who enforce them, the courts, and the members of the jury, there is a lot more going on than just greed. The stress and drama of a trial can get to lawyers as well.

I had the opposite experience! The judge refused to clarify the law in a case that I was on a jury for. 🤷♀️

The juries job is not to decide on questions of law though.

At the same time, many now-lawyers talk about law school as if it were boot camp, which might be a tad dramatic. There is no doubt that it’s hard, but there are folks in literal life-or-death professions who don’t complain as much. That being said, if one is dealing with criminal law, the stakes can be quite high.

Cat’s collar looks like it’s too tight. I’ve had cats my entire life and none of them could be called “pencil-necked”. But I digress. Sometimes you have to make your own little family, especially if your human family doesn’t understand just how time consuming your job can be. Not every professional clocks out at 5pm and leaves the office behind. Doctors, lawyers, teachers, cops, all have crazy hours and do extra work at home. So, if you can’t understand why they’re not always going to be able to be at every anniversary dinner, date night, birthday party, dance recital, school play, etc, and it’s always going to be a bone of contention between the two of you, then don’t get involved with them, and certainly do not have children with them, because you will be breaking up. But if you actually can see the big picture about what their job entails—-and with some professions, it’s more of a calling than a job—-you’ll be fine, and so will your kids.

If you're that unhappy with somebody's looks, why bother proposing? Why bother continuing the show? If something about them is an absolute deal breaker you're not doing anyone any favors by continuing the charade. For reference, Deepti is fabulous. The guy, I don't remember his name, made a fair point when he mentioned marriage not being mandatory or something along those lines. However this dance continued for longer than necessary on something he considered an immediate dealbreaker. The show is called "Love is Blind" for anyone curious.

You took this way too literally. The point is that a young lawyer being seduced by the prestige and salary offered by a big corporate firm will soon find out that he or she has just agreed to wind up overworked, underappreciated and dumped a few years later before getting the partnership offer they believed they'd earned. It's a meat grinder, and new lawyers are the fresh meat.

For someone facing criminal charges, pleading the Fifth means exercising their right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves. This is in the United States in reference to the fifth amendment

For the survey I picked law school experience. Why? I went to graduate school at a seminary (graduate school for future pastors and religious scholars). What I know about how they acted in university would blow people’s minds. I can only imagine how much worse it is in law school.
