His problem is that he (allegedly) has a mutual mistake defense, but one that the other side will argue (probably rightly) that he's cooked up now, after the fact, to avoid the transaction. In order to successfully plead, and prove that claim, he's going to need a real attorney who can navigate a complex contract claim, and navigate parole evidence issues, and navigate around the presumption of knowledge of the instrument as charged to him by his signature, and navigate the complexities of his prior attorney as a potential witness. Inevitably, Bad House Man, when you search my post history and find this, I say again, unto you: Go. Get. A. Lawyer.

Pook Good Mook posted:I'm not a real estate or contract attorney, but don't you still have a cause of action in an "as-is" sale if the seller actively concealed faults? Texas (and every other state as far as I'm concerned) has an attachment for real estate contracts called "seller's disclosures." In it, the seller has to disclose every issue, 1. thats on the list of potential issues and 2. that they know about. Its not mandatory by law to my knowledge unless you're closing through a real estate agent who is required by their license to include one. There is also a closing period, usually 30 days, where the buyer has the right to 1. hire their own inspector to look for issues, and 2. walk away from the contract and not forfeit their earnest money if shits hosed. For the kind of fraud you're talking about (lets say, the foundation is hosed up, but the seller generated a false report saying it was fine), then you have a cause of action, but for fraud and damages ($$ to fix the foundation) or fraud and equitable relief (rescission of the sale). If its an "As Is, buyer is getting their own inspector, seller is making no dislcosures." and its just that the Buyer was too dumb to hire an inspector because they looked at it and said, "I ain't payin no $250! I'll do it myself!" then you're 100% right.

Ok, has anyone ever in all their years of civil practice seen a paid, private process server straight up lie about service on their return? I swear to god I'm looking at the return, and it says, "date, time, location" and its literally 100% false - not even, "he got one detail wrong" false, and of course the guy says he's never been served in his life, but he wasn't even in town that day and can prove it, and the location he says he served him at was closed at the alleged time of service, and we can prove it. Its the first time I've ever seen something like this.

Adar posted:I agree this is a lot of it. The problem is that both the Hillbilly Elegy take and the burn them all down take can be true. Those people "don't really care" about minorities either way and just want their old jobs back, but when push comes to shove they'd really rather those minorities hosed off back where they came from and are happy the orange man on TV says what everyone really thinks about it. The true ratio of people who think, "those people shouldn't have ______________ specifically because they're a minority." to those who feel like "those people shouldn't have ______________ before me/other people just because they're a minority." is probably very low. Most people are ascribing a level of cognitive processing to the second kind of person that they just aren't capable of/not interested in. A thoughtful person will work through the fact that parts of society are fundamentally stacked against the poor and against minorities, and that it takes creative problem solving to upend entrenched social blocks to upward mobility. They'd be able to separate issues of pure inequality (police profiling) with issues of fundamental inequality (college admission preferences). A less thoughtful person will only see raw information that feels unfair to their fundamental principals of self-reliance, and what their learned notion of equality is. Additionally, a less thoughtful person on the other side of the issue might take the same kind of shortcut when analyzing those people and say, "well they're just hateful bigots."

Vox Nihili posted:"Vance escaped their fate by joining the Marines and serving in Iraq. Afterward, he attended Ohio State and Yale Law School, where he was mentored by Amy Chua, the law professor and tiger mom. He now lives in San Francisco, where he works at Mithril Capital Management, the investment firm helmed by Peter Thiel." You missed the sentence right before that: quote:His family struggled with poverty and domestic violence, of which he was a victim. His mother was addicted to drugs—first to painkillers, then to heroin. Many of his neighbors were jobless and on welfare. Sounds like he speaks for lots of people.

Vox Nihili posted:His solutions for those neighbors are seemingly 1) cut welfare and 2) improve the "culture" of those communities... somehow. It's the same prescription that the GOP has for inner-city black communities. He provides a sympathetic backstory for evil. Or, you could do I like did and spend 90 seconds reading the article. quote:And yet it would be wrong to see Vance’s book as yet another entry in our endless argument about whether this or that group’s poverty is caused by “economic” or “cultural” factors. “Hillbilly Elegy” sees the “economics vs. culture” divide as a dead metaphor—a form of manipulation rather than explanation more likely to conceal the truth than to reveal it. I know you're trolling but its so convincingly disguised as your standard-fare, faux-progressive twitter rhetoric that it annoys me via placebo effect.

We have one JP judge who hates lawyers so much he will: - unabashedly rule against someone who is represented without regard to the facts - refuses to give lawyers settings for anything (lawyer requests hearing on discovery motion? 'we'll send you a notice, it will be about 6 months' - so we send the client in to the clerks to ask later that day, they give her one in 3 weeks) - refuses to grant continuances, agreed or otherwise, if an attorney files it - refuses to allow law firms to get copies of the documents on file unless "the lawyer in charge requests them" (went to desk to get copy of pleading filed by Pro Se that he never served on us, and clerk says, "only the attorney in charge can get copies." I was like, "Its a public record, anyone can get copies." "No, Judge says only the attorney in charge, are you '[Female, but sometimes also male name]?' of Blarzgh's firm." I fuckin lied and said, "yes." and got the loving thing. - refuses to sign default judgments after the deadline without having a hearing (which he refuses to set) despite the fact that the rules specifically say JPs "must sign the default judgment, without a hearing." Cus whatta ya gonna do? Mandamus a fuckin JP?

Point: 1. if your friend is already thinking about quitting after his first year, and got no OCI offers, then congratulations, they're experiencing the same thing as 95% of the rest of their class, and most people who go to law school. 2. Unless their living expenses are killing them/driving them into insurmountable debt, then this is basically free education, whether they end up practicing or not. Counterpoint: 1. The difference between getting and using a humanities degree, and getting and using a JD is about the difference between painting a picture of kittens, and having a knife fight in a dark alley to save a bag of kittens(your clients) who keep wandering back into dark alleys causing you to get into more knife fights. Conclusion: I can't, in good conscience, tell your friend they should give up a free education, even one they might only use as a stepping stone to a different career, because "its hard and discouraging."
