The only bar exams I’ve taken are 1RM testing weeks, but I understand why you said ‘hypothetically’ now lol.

Haha, over here, the fuckers went even further than anything I’ve heard the CCP do wrt to a certain covid app and a statute that I had long knew about, but the average person wouldn’t know that purportedly supersedes the privacy laws that were enacted along with said app so there would be minimal resistance to downloading it. It caused such a shitstorm they either stopped doing it or they told the press to shut the fuck up. Hypothetically, of course.

Hmmmm I’m gonna say “student”. hahaha. You live in a place where the cops can invoke the immigration act wrt to “drug enforcement” to stop and search your VEHICLE when they have a bad day and said act supersedes anything in the police code, then come tell me you want to pursue law as a career,
*** OF COURSE, this was a decade before cops had to wear cams on themselves. No one would dare pull shit like that now.
PS: What I wrote REALLY happened a lot although I’m writing this is a lighthearted manner lol.

The money is in business.

Sure. But it depends on where you live which includes economic factors and sectors and levels of development. This was 20 years ago in a country that was at least 10+ years behind the US at that time where after they LITERALLY told the Privy Council to fuck off, there were NO local precedents for something like libel lol.

Criminal defense can be lucrative with the right clients as can divorce law.
Torts can also be VERY lucrative.
Business is more stable imo and less stressful overall. I would rather deal with businesses all day than individual clients on emotionally charged issues.

My wife is going to law school with someone who is trying to recruit her into an ADA compliance money making “scheme” (I use that term lightly because it’s a moral gray area). Basically, you get an ADA qualified friend, go to any major store and find a violation (There always is one), file a basic set of forms, get them to comply and settle with you. They said the local judge will hate you but it’s 7 figures/year (your ADA friend gets a cut too).

Is the ADA friend also a licensed attorney?
Attorneys cannot share fees in any capacity with a non-attorney by the ethical rules.
I am probably oversimplifying the details. I know it’s possible to do it within ABA rules but to be honest I tuned out part of it because I didn’t completely understand it.
I’m intrigued because I’ve never seen anything where you can share fees with a non-attorney - not even for referrals.
I know I have the details wrong. It seems to be a common practice in a number of Florida circuits though according to this person.

If someone approached my wife with a gambit like that, Id tell her to run fast and far in the other direction.

My brother got sued in California. He owns a pellet mill in another state and his bags didn’t have California language regarding the dust from the pellets degrading causing breathing issues or some shit like that. The firm that sued him files multiple claims a year with the same plaintiff. It’s there sole source of revenue.
Well, you see guys, all this stuff would never happen here. 0% chance because the government always has a tiny stake in any mid-large SME and it trickles down.
Wrt to criminal law, it’s even more absurd now. Because there are cams, the cops have ZERO BALLS.
I had to explain a very simple concept of what constitutes “theft” to a lady cop for 30 fucking minutes and she still had to call her station inspector, who told her I was right but spoke to me and told me to let it go but it wasn’t my call since it was my neighbor’s issue, and I was shocked that an immediate arrest wasn’t made, which is why I got involved.
She and her partner were apparently confused at the manner in which the item in question had ended up in the possession of the fucker who didn’t want to return it. They didn’t know if it satisfied the first condition. While it was a little more complex than “fucker saw a mobile phone on the ground and picked it up not knowing who the owner was”, HOLY FUCK. IT DOESN’T MATTER as long as the fucker knows who the owner is and there is the intent to “permanently deprive” the owner of said item. They spent 1hr trying to convince the fucker to GIVE IT BACK!!!
I’m sorry I cannot give away more details, but let’s just say if the fucker had taken the item by entering the owner’s premises, it would amount to an act of BUGLARY and if life were like how law is like in Boston Legal (2nd favorite TV series of all time. I never believed I would be a massive fan of William Shatner one day. But please… just one more season of Sherlock. Just one. Boston Legal started to suck in season 4.), I’m 90% sure I could spin it into that by doing a fucking James Spader.
This is consistent throughout all Commonwealth Countries and I’ve VERY FUCKING SURE it’s the same in the US.
My neighbour thanked me for my help but I was just fucking appalled beyond belief that cops here don’t even fucking know BASIC ASPECTS OF THE PENAL CODE. I’m still wondering how the other departments like those in commercial crime operate.
You know how worthless the cops are over here even when it comes to subduing someone? We have one of the lowest crime rates in the world. There’s some kind of procedure that only allows drawing their guns under certain circumstances but that’ not important.
2 idiots are on patrol. See a dude either a) mentally deranged, b) high on drugs or c) both. Dude is making a lot of noise and they responded to complaints by neighbors at around 1am. One dude gets into a tussle with the fucker and somehow gets his night stick(I dunno what the fuck they’re called. Batons? Whatever, I’ll just stick with night sticks) taken from him. And then the fucker starts using it to attack THEM.
The other genius does anything a bona fide genius would have done in a situation like that. He throws his own night stick AT THE FUCKER and I still have no idea what he was trying to accomplish. Hope that it hits his head and knocks him out?
I’ve held one of those before. They are hard as fuck when you use them as a bludgeoning tool in your hand. Shit, the way they are designed may deal even more damage than the old heavy ones (go see Donnie Yen using one of them in Flash Point in a knife fight scene that The Winter Soldier was heavily inspired by lol), but they are too LIGHT to do any damage when you throw them at someone but it even if it wasn’t, that was one of the most idiotic things I’ve ever heard of in my life.
Now the fucker has 2 night sticks and the residents of the neighborhood have 2 cops whom are supposed to protect and serve them are running away. I cannot verify the truth of this story but it’s legendary amongst cops I know.
As for Separation of Powers, which, in Commonwealth Nations, including Britain, have less stringent rules than the US, the ex-PM made his ex-classmate from Oxford Chief Justice. Go figure. Gigantic libel case. Court of Appeal in England overturns verdict. We tell them “fuck you” and cut ties with them and only precedents from INDIA applied but only used as “something said along the way” instead “reasons for the verdict”. At the time, there were NONE. LMAO!!! This is verifiable by a simple Google search. NO MORE QCs FROM ENGLAND ALLOWED. You know why? Because the defendant’s supporters brought in John Mortimer (yes, the guy who wrote the Rumpole series). Read Geoffrey Robertson’s The Justice Game for some indepth transcripts. It is BANNED here despite the other 3/4 of the book being dedicated to other landmark cases in England, including advocacy for Homosexual Rights. That portion was about a case in England and is the most intriguing part IMHO.
@Bauber Shit man, see what happens when you fellows get me started on law and shit lololol??? I can rant ALL DAY. ALL FUCKING DAY.
