Calling the HH Legal Community!

Some of us have learned over the past week that there seems to be a pretty large population of people somehow related to the legal field on Halos Heaven. So let's take a roll call and find out how many of us there really are.
Are you a law student?
Are you a lawyer?
Do you work at a law office?
Are you a paralegal?
Are you going to school to become a paralegal?
And anything else I haven't mentioned that you feel qualifies....
Hey, Rev! If Jeff ever tries to sue you, it looks like you should have adequate representation...I bet some of us would even do it pro bono (or at least at a reduced rate)!
This Fan-Post is authored by an independent fan. Tell us what you think and how you feel.

As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours. Blows my weekend.

Haha. One more....
My attorney had never been able to accept the notion, often espoused by former drug abusers, that you can get a lot higher without drugs than with them, and neither have I for that matter.

But with my job I have to be very familiar with customs law and the rules of international trade. I passed a goverment test about this knowledge where most lawyers fail the test. I can read a legal case and usually figure out which way the ruling is going to go before it’s issued. (I mean where judges rule on one issue, no one can figure out what the hell a jury will do.)

Clutch and NoDakHalo, you two need to change majors quick.
If your research skills have not yet even reached the level of Google, you are in for some serious office hours when you hook up as an Associate. There might not be enough hours in the week!
Honest, people. We worked our new Associates a good 80+ hours a week just to see if they were serious about wanting to be a lawyer. I would come in at midnight on Saturdays to start some network upgrades during what should have been off hours, and I could see the random office lights glowing from the highrise building miles away. Those lights have after hours motion sensors on them, so if they are lit somebody has been in that space within the previous 20 minutes. Those, I knew, were first-year Associates and I was going to have to make my staff walk the floors first to make sure that I did not make their already miserable weekend even worse when I shut off their systems.

Always have a fall-back plan.
Pay attention to how lawyers use Information Technology. Learn that technology. Spend time with the vendors. Lunch with the sales engineers, go to conventions, get on your firm’s technology steering committee, etc. That way, if the whole being-a-lawyer-thing doesn’t look like it’s going to work for you, you can slide over into the Litigation Support industry as a serious player. And Lit Support is where serious money will always be…

He was the construction project manager for GDC while I was there, taking care of all my facilities buildout needs. He handles the offices in ALL offices nationwide, of course, but that would include downtown (the Wells Fargo building), Century City, and Irvine. Best of all, he is a HUGE Halo fan (lives in Aliso Viejo).

What do you call 00 lawyers at the bottom of a lake?
A good start! HA!
It must be hard for lawyers to iron pants, what with one hand always in a pocket.
The devil visited a lawyer’s office and made him an offer. “I can arrange some things for you, " the devil said. "I’ll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you’ll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife’s soul, your children’s souls, and their children’s souls rot in hell for eternity.”
The lawyer thought for a moment. “What’s the catch?” he asked.
Q: What do you call a lawyer gone bad?
A: Your honor.
