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.

so, for the cost of a Starbucks + whatever euros a dairy milk mint thing costs, you can get them almost anytime.

the Clarice express is open.

That's such an amazing offer! I don't want to take advantage of you, either.

that's why you buy me the Starbucks.

I haven't bought Starbucks since 2005
