lawyer lawyering

[xp_daredevil]

my intention, for those that don't know, in law school was to become a defense attorney. That was waylaid by a few things and I ended up here, which is great. Not a lot of need for defense though.



So I'm watching the indictment today, following the case, and I just gotta say. I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS CASE. FUCK NO.

1. he has a reputation and history of not paying his attorneys.

2. he has a history and reputation of asking/forcing his counsel to commit crimes on his behalf
2a. some of his former counsel have already gone to jail on his behalf

3. while the case is a career maker, it will break any career just as much

4. it is a full time case that would preclude taking or continuing any other clients

so I'm terrified to see what counsel will take this.

I mean, I don't know that _I_ could handle you and Marci together by myself.

Especially because Josie always gives me a look that I -still- haven't figured out whenever I go there with you all.

[xp_daredevil]

I'm very curious now on this look

[xp_cypher]

She is just hella inscrutable, man. I'm used to being able to read people, but I got nothin where Josie's concerned.

[xp_daredevil]

she's immortal and unknowable

"Why is this hot guy with those fucking nerds?"

[xp_cypher]

If that's it, how has Josie not figured out that _I_ am an enormous fucking nerd as well?

Maybe it's "oh gods, here comes property damage" then.

[xp_daredevil]

we are far from the only one causing property damage there.

and Foggy and I have helped her out pro Bono

[xp_darcy]

But you do cause property damage there. Have. Marci and I did replace the pool sticks we broke because that one guy got handsy.

[xp_daredevil]

past tense.

because some people don't learn orally

[xp_darcy]

Mm, oral. Wait, what? 😉

[xp_daredevil]

my thoughts exactly

[xp_darcy]

Thoughts? No thoughts.

[xp_daredevil]

head empty

If it's done right, yeah.
