Christ, I hate sprawling cases. An upcoming IP case is just sprawling all over the place, which isn't helped by opposing council trying to nitpick the case to death - because that's how she rolls, apparently. The case itself is impossible to predict or prognosticate, and of course it matters everything to the client who's constantly blowing up my phone. The hours I've logged are already ridiculous, and we're not even at first trial yet. Witness prep is horrible with academics, and I can't stop angsting over every dumb detail in this case as if it's going to matter, and this entire thing would have been settled between rational actors. Unfortunately, I have no such luck. gently caress a duck I am so sick of this case. Sorry for the rant, I'll be better once I stop getting poo poo cases. E: Know what would really help? A tiny glass with some quality e-mails.

He was yelling that we couldn't prove that we had jurisdiction over him and that the $25 parking ticket was a violation of his natural right to sit by the lake.

He signed his plea "Under Duress ///////// All Rights Reserved." He refused to shake my hand because he was so pissed, and we walked in the room and he dropped a big Blacks Law Dictionary on the desk from 1998, and said, "you have to prove to me that you have jurisdiction over me. I am a Free Man, and you have violated my natural rights." So I said, "First of all, we have jurisdiction because you committed a criminal offense within the city limits, and secondly, you don't have a natural right to park at the lake without paying the $8 for a parking pass." It was all downhill from there.

blarzgh posted:He signed his plea "Under Duress ///////// All Rights Reserved." This is the poo poo that confuses me the most about sovcits. I can accept a theory of natural laws and refusing to submit to laws you don't think are made by people with jurisdiction over you. It's stupid, but I can "get it" philosophically. Why do they add loving copyright poo poo into their nonsense? Or the UCC? Or corporate charter stuff? I know the answer is "they're stupid/crazy," but it's just so incoherent with what they are actually arguing for.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:6 weeks away from 10 years as a fed and boy am I kicking myself every loving day for not maxing out my god drat student loans I paid my student loans off as fast as humanly possible. Part of the reason I quit was that I have no debts and, relatively speaking, some savings. On the other hand I may need to marry someone just for health insurance cause holy loving balls. I am not sure how the solo guys/gals do it especially if they have a family. Edit: I'm currently, as of today, uninsured. When I'm dying of some easily preventable or treatable disease in my bed, unwilling to spend money on a hospital, it would really make me feel better if I could see the emails. Edit2 (Im not a good poster): blarzgh posted:All I did was argue with him for 20 minutes, I didn't even offer him a plea I don't understand why prosecutors would argue with anyone for 20 minutes especially if the other person was a goof.

I've a few questions for the UK lawyers. I read through the FAQ but it is understandably US-focused. - There's been some blurring of lines between solicitor and barrister in recent years, with attendant hand-wringing from the bar about the loss of their precious monopoly. Has this had any significant impact in real terms? I've seen some stats on the number of crossovers but that never tells the whole story. - I'm starting an OU LLB in October and the idea of choosing between barrister and solicitor after it's done seems so opaque at this point. Is this a choice that will become more natural as the course progresses, or do I need to buzz around some professionals and read some days in the life? Does anyone here have thoughts and opinions either way?

Pook Good Mook posted:This is the poo poo that confuses me the most about sovcits. Sovcits are basically trying to practice some kind of legal alchemy/homeopathy, so in order for it to work they believe you have to start with a certain amount of actual stuff before you endlessly dilute it with useless gibberish. And much like regular homeopathy, they don't actually require any relationship between the thing you're trying to solve and the piece of matter they begin with. So you can take a random sampling of the UCC, dilute it a hundred thousand times, and under the principles of homeopathy it has now become a form of super-strong anti-law treatment for anything.

One big thing with sovcits is that most of the people selling this poo poo know it's a scam. They don't care that it's nonsense, it just needs to sound exotic enough to get the mark to pay for it. Everything that happens after that is irrelevant to the scammer.

I already got 2 dings from this round of interviews. I sent the partner a thank you letter and mentioned how sorry I was that I didn't get to talk to <person I emailed> a bit more. Her reply was non-commital, so I imagine the rejection letter is already on the way.
