Majimas intro was phenomenal though Ok So Yakuza 0 Majima isn't the same Majima as the rest of the series in terms of temperament. He's like Japanese Deadpool. But way more awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lycnnem2kFI&t=0m16s No spoilers in this.

Eminent Domain posted:This streak of opposing parties not showing up for their family law hearings is making my life super easy. Karma's due to spike my wheel any day now. I hate defaults in family law. They're much more trouble in the long run because the defaulted party goes "This is bullshit I never got my day in court!! This isn't justice! I'm not doing this poo poo!" And turns into a loving lump or challenges the judgment. I lost my poo poo, laughing in court. I was doing a default judgment today. My client was appearing over court call. He would not shut the gently caress up. Every question I asked him would result in a rambling three minute speech. I have reasonable control of him and shut him down. Then the judge starts asking minor questions. And the guy would not shut the gently caress up. And the judge is waving his hands and rolling his eyes and making hand gestures at me trying to get him to stop. And I'm just losing my poo poo silently laughing, shoulders shaking and head in my hands in front of the courtroom. A good day.

I'm doing a protective order hearing in front of a Judge today. The other attorney is a baby. Like two years younger than me. And I've never heard of him. And he's a silly young man who thinks he can win this P.O. when his client is in jail with $500,000.00 bond for assaulting my client. And I go in expecting him and he goes, "Did you get my notice of appearance?" I did not. And some old dude walks in who owns the living poo poo out of the courtroom. Just complete comfort, shreds up and down and back and forth. It's to the point where I'm impressed. I still win but run home and google this dude. "Chief felony prosecutor for (county) for 15 years." Oh. That makes sense.

I think I'm going to have to start upping my game and dressing better. I used to purposefully dress a little shaggy to have people underestimate me but at this point my client base has evolved to the point where opposing counsel are flashy as hell. gently caress.

I am glad I do not do that kind of law and instead my law is all "My ex is withholding my three year old because she made a sexual outcry to the policeman he took her to to tell the policeman my boyfriend stuck his finger in her butthole" law.

Do something else. If you can succeed at law, you can pretty much succeed at anything. Go be an actuary or something.

Here's a day in the life of a solo family law practitioner: 7:30: Wake up. See whatever hosed up in the night. Do e-mails, hop in the shower, dress for work. 8:30: Court. Likely a prove-up. 9:00: Usually some sort of hearing. I'm in court 3 to 5 days a week. 11:30: Get back to office. Pick up phone messages, start making calls. 12:00: Usually a consultation. 1:00: Lunch. 2:00-5:30: More consultations, phone calls, drafting, emails. Hearing prep. 5:30: Gym. 7:00: Fix the poo poo that broke when I was in the gym. 7:30: Cook and eat with the wife and dog. 8:30: Games and emails. 10:30: Reading 11:30: Pass out. 4:00: Wake up with anxiety, toss and turn for an hour. I'm here 6 days a week. Sunday it's from 12-7ish.

This week's situation: My client insists her husband is cheating on her with another woman. Insists on it. I bring up this concern with OC. He says there's no other woman. My client goes "I got a picture of her from one of his friends" and shows it to me three days later. The other woman? Also my client. I call OC, tell him I'm probably out due to a conflict. Client 1 and Client 2 both beg me to remain as lawyer and even say they'll sign conflict waivers. I think I need to get out from Client 1 because the same loving judge is hearing both cases. He says, "Found out about Kim, huh?" Fucker. He knew the whole time. That whole situation is hosed up. Client 1 (wife) is friends with client 2 (friend) who is friends with client 3 (girlfriend). Client 2's husband cheated on her with Client 4. Client 5 is Client 1's mom. So out of 7 people, I've represented 5 of them. G-Mawwwwwww fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jul 22, 2018 |

I see a lawyer in the Courthouse that I've had one case against. She works for big firms. "Hey Scraps, I'm looking for an associate. Want a job?" "Nah."

CaptainScraps posted:I had jury duty in the civil courthouse today. Fun fact, they ended up giving Plaintiff $500K for his injuries sustained from falling off a ladder. I asked a different judge what should the lawyers have done and he said, "The defense counsel should have approached and asked the judge to send you home ASAP. It was worth wasting a peremptory strike to have that poison out."
