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.

drinks at Josie's tonight with Foggy and Marci?

[xp_darcy]

Maybe one round as long as I get fed, too.

[xp_daredevil]

sure. dinner not at Josie's

[xp_darcy]

As long as there's dinner. I can't drink on empty like I did in my 20s, it's terrible.

[xp_daredevil]

I'll let you pick where

[xp_darcy]

Corner Slice for pizza? It's not too far from Josie's.

[xp_daredevil]

perfect

[xp_cypher]

I can walk you to pizza and drinks if you like? <3

[xp_daredevil]

lawyers- only, but you can come for pizza

[xp_darcy]

Someone's gotta babysit me and you know YOU aren't doing it. Also Doug's got the freshest memes about this shit.

[xp_daredevil]

that's why we have Marci.

well, not for the memes

[xp_darcy]

Marci and I are both gonna be drinking and you know how we get when we're drinking AND making lawyer arguments together.

You want to deal with that alone? Foggy isn't gonna help you after the last time. ;)

[xp_daredevil]

Foggy loves me.

and watching you two argue is excellent foreplay

[xp_darcy]

Foggy loves you but he's not gonna step in when the two of us gang up on you. :) Possibly hustle us out of the bar faster.

[xp_darcy]

Yes even though Matt's being a brat he knows he doesn't want to deal with me and Marci both drinking and arguing TOGETHER.

[xp_cypher]

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

[xp_darcy]

"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?

[xp_darcy]

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
