As a divorce attorney I wholeheartedly advocate that if no-fault divorces are outlawed that women should stop getting married, period. There are no upsides if you are trapped--and if they remove no-fault, maintenance and child support could be next.

Go try to master the dormant commerce clause in one or two weeks and come back and tell us how you did.

the existence of "experts" is a myth the fact that certain skills are "deep" is a meme. you can learn anything in one or two weeks. the only thing that exists is depth

THIS!!!! Law school is so divorced from actual practice that the first time my law clerk was assigned to draft a document that we had oodles of template for SHE WROTE A NEW ONE FROM SCRATCH. And to teach law students that this is the way is so freaking outrageous.

Yes. And the oddest thing about law school is when an assignment is given or student code of conduct is signed stating we agree to NOT talk to others about our work (specifically writing assignments). Law school is so removed from how law is practiced it's amazing.

I had an OC who was fresh out of law school and almost had a panic attack in a zoom court hearing. She was so prepared and competent but it was her first motion hearing and she was scared. I called after and told her she did great--because we need to support our colleagues.

@Eodyne1 @420AttyChicago Any attorney who rolls their eyes at this either has forgotten what it’s like or is lying. The first time I deposed a defendant in an MVA he said he wasn’t even there despite being on the police report and it was harrowing because I was baffled in real time!

This gave me, as a trained chef, the same amount of agita as non-attorneys giving legal advice.

@mlstrat I would recommend starting an Equine Law practice group if this continues.

If you haven't taken the bar exam during a pandemic, stfu. If you haven't taken the bar exam since they added Civ Pro to the MBE, stfu. If you don't know what the MBE even is, most definitely stfu.

Law twitter, today's challenge is to write the section of your legal resume that highlights your high school job skills and how they are transferable to the legal profession.

Okay, let's do this one more time: Bar passage does not guarantee competence. LSAT does not determine law school success. Success in law school does not equate to actual competence in legal profession.

Another reason why law school is a legit scam. If going to a graduate level program for three years is not enough to prepare one to practice, why are we continuing to pretend it has this intrinsic value? Also isn't the bar exam supposed to demonstrate minimum competence?

Someone was telling me about their first mistake as a solo practitioner/first year lawyer and it was exactly the kind of mistake a partner would’ve pointed out immediately. The client suffered for it. Everything worked out in the end but there are real consequences to winging it.

Law schools need to do waaaaay better because I am seeing actual litigators, more and more, try to impeach a witness WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S INCONSISTENT STATEMENTS. Come on, y'all.

DePaul alumna here, and it's time we allow people from LITERALLY ANY LAW SCHOOL WHO IS QUALIFIED. Can we please, for the love of Jebus, stop acting like a fancy degree confers wisdom or competence. (See, e.g. Ted Cruz, Jared Kushner, AND HELLA OTHER LEGACY ADMITS.)

Craziest thing about doing family law and having lots of clients protected with orders of protection is the multifarious ways that people will try to violate them. Case in point: Contacting protected parties through chat features in video games.

Employers only say "we're a family" when they plan to abuse you like your actual family.
