Dunno about Perkins but I’d bet money the Cooley hate is because of this.

You should hear my accent.
I don't know if this happened to you all after graduation and some of your classmates started making decent money and chasing other dreams, but for a couple of years I was getting constant messages from a classmate I didn't really know that well about investing in a New York City restaurant. In exchange for a measly $25,000+ investment, there were offers of special event booking privileges and what-not.

I just Googled the place out of curiosity and it only lasted for a couple of years tops. Maybe not even a year. Meanwhile the guy was bragging on social media about his small firm getting mentioned in the DC version of Super Lawyers.

I just felt like sharing this since "what else can I do with a law degree?" is the first question many law students and lawyers start asking almost immediately after their first real law job. Maybe you guys have happier stories about these escape routes, though.

I dunno OP, aren't tattoos tacky and look bad in the courtroom?

Anyway the blindingly obvious answer is to get a tattoo of Tyr, the norse god of justice and honor.

Something like this probably



But not exactly like that, whoever drew that hosed up the runes I think, that's the wrong name. I'll post the right ones for you. You can trust me.

I genuinely held off on getting a tattoo all down my arm for a whole year cause I was like what about court?? What about clients???? And then I remembered we wear robes or at least a blazer in court and also one of my coworkers has a finger tattoo and it's fine this is 2022 so I went for it.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Nah, wouldn't do that to you. Wouldn't be as funny.

For authenticity you'd want younger futhark runes, as they are the viking ones. Tyr is then spelled

ᛏᛦᚱ

As ᛦ is used for both R and y interchangeably.

And Fenrir or Fenre then becomes

ᚠᛅᚾᚱᛁᛦ

And frankly that tattoo design could do with a lot more viking era scrollwork as filler of which we have a lot of examples.

That's enough nerd talk.

Protip, do NOT hire a tattoo artist and lead with telling them you want Norse runes. At least in America, Nordic rune tattoos are often associated with white supremacists.

I mean it's far from the worst thing they've done, but if they hadn't coopted my loving heritage I would likely consider my own tattoo. There is some amazing art to be had.

But now? No. Not in the realm of possible. And I don't for real recommend anyone else get one either, sad to say. It's the same perception everywhere, even here.
