I had almost perfect scores on the parts that were about words. It's those analytical scheduling (advanced secretarial skills) and permutation problems that were tough. I figure there are some strategies that you tryhards learned from your mentors over the years you were planning to be a lawyer.

Maybe I'm just not anal enough to be a law dog...

I hope some folks read their edgy advice and go to Cornell with a $15,000 scholarship. Nobody would regret that at all!

Can't cost much more than that right?

Doesn't everyone already know that the WASPy American upper-bourgeoisie world is constructed specifically to have massive barriers to entry to keep the poors out?

Is that still actually surprising or shocking to people?

Agreed.

I'd enjoy it if you continued to run the flame for the next few years though. The thread needs more 0L/law student interludes.

Thing is we can't tell whether you're a non-lawyer trolling the sad lawyers, (which is good) or actually a very dumb 0L who has resorted to enjoyable trolling now that you got answers you disliked. (which is bad)

I started solo, firm now has 3 attorneys. My legal assistant is going to law school in September and I'm debating replacing her with an attorney.

Think about that. For 5k more a year than I pay my legal assistant, I can hire an attorney who will be my assistant.

Go to law school, get paid nothing but make me money!

we got so many law school grads applying to be paralegals that we have a rule against it now, because invariably after a few years here they start pushing to be staff attorneys or associates

I'm not sure if we have a rule against assistants with JDs, but probably not. do go, lots of jobs, etc

Only when it concerns the BigLaw club, but considering that UTAustin was letting (rich) kids in with a 126 last year, that doesn't even matter.

"Perhaps the fact the defendant had to be dragged out of the courtroom while declaring 'Death to you all, a Jihad on the court' may have had something to do with the revocation of his bond. That or calling the judge a bald-headed cock-sucker. Either way."

Yeah...but those dumb rich kids have something going for them that you don't: nepotism. Enjoy watching someone else eat bean burritos from your cardboard lean to.

To be fair, it's difficult to put together a coherent troll when you're busy painting miniatures and/or leading the police on high-speed chases.

Counterpoint: it's light years better than the law stuff in the Daredevil movie.

Also greatly enjoying the show. And I think I'm starting to hate shows I can't consume via a binge-watching process.

It always takes me 2-3 tries to get a fax through. Do I have to press 9? Why does it need an area code if it's just going three blocks away? What the gently caress?

Working in japan, we fax all our patent prosecution instructions, new apps etc. When set up well it's actually fairly convenient. All the fax numbers are organized, saved and are a few buttons away.
