I think my wife summed this show up best. Its a little slow but the writing, directing, acting, and cinematography are so top notch you cant keep your eyes off of it.

 

[Cjw_55106]

The fact that Jimmy didn't tell Chuck (but did tell Lawyerette) he was taking classes and the bar imo also tells us who's decision it was.

Why wouldn't Jimmy tell him? My guess is he expected Chuck to dash his hopes of joining the team before he started the classes.

I thought he just wanted to surprise him and he expected Chuck to be super proud. Had he actually gone to Georgetown, he might have been

American Samoa, meh

Yea.. may be my own perspective on that one. I've at times not told somebody I was going to do something just so they wouldn't try to talk me out of it first. That's how I took that scene, guess it's off to the podcast for me!

I assumed he didnt want to be embarressed if he failed. He doesnt seem to full of self esteem.

I don't think it's really slow. Mostly because every scene is chock full of little details and nuances... Maybe that's what you're saying...

 

[Apple Jack]

yeah, don't get the slow complaint at all.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

So Sauls older brother was thought so highly of that his successful piers thought he would argue in front of the Supreme Court one day. He is obviously a bad ### lawyer, and a highly powerful one at his firm.

His brother passes the bar.

You telling me his partners wouldn't find Sual a job working on parking tickets in the basement? We supposed to belive his partners flat out said no to him?

Sorry, not buying it. That's a big hole in the story to me.

I don't think Chuck went to bat for him really. Did you see his reaction to when he was asked about a job there?

I didn't see it that way, but maybe you are onto something.

You're alone on that peer.

[kentric]

I thought Jimmy would have been a bit more alert to the potential issues with using Chuck's code, considering in the first or second episode, he called Hamlin out for sending Chuck documents and sending him checks to make it seem like he was still working for the firm from home, in response to Jimmy's demands that he get bought out.

Maybe this is what sinks Jimmy? Seemed like they made a scene of it.

I didn't quite understand why Hamlin would have a claim to this case? Is it simply that Chuck is working on it while employed by HH&M? I thought it was Jimmy's case and Chuck was pro bono? Guessing that defense won't fly?

Not just Chuck, but Saul's fling did the research while "at work"... Thus two "employees" of HHM worked on this lawsuit.. Have a feeling, as others mentioned above, this case is the beginning of Saul.

Another aspect that's not discussed is that not just anyone can be appointed class counsel in federal court. You have to have experience in class action cases. Especially if it turns out to be as big as Chuck thinks.

I thought that maybe Chuck would be the one to file the suit in HHM's name and subsequently Jimmy would find that he is only due hourly wages. Not a lawyer (maybe we can get some further lawyerly insight here), but figured if that happened, Jimmy becomes Saul soon thereafter.

It's fairly structured, but your point that anything is possible is always valid. Fresh inbounds come through a recruiting process that starts in the middle of law school. So circumventing that program is issue 1. Not insurmountable, but an issue.

And then even if hiring an associate who has already passed the bar with zero experience otherwise, I doubt any hiring partner would want a profile of any associate to include American Samoa University up against the usual top schools that such a firm would hire from.

It would seem like a long-shot to get him in, but we've all seen it before. A particular former Secretary of State whose name is on a firm would routinely pull strings like that in a firm that I was close to. So sure, anything's possible.

It could have been that his brother didn't really push the issue because he didn't fully believe in him.

What Howard said to Jimmy:

Spoiler

"We don't have any associate positions open right now, and my hands are tied. I wish we could help you. It's really great that you've done this, but it's not going to happen right now. Well we'll think about it again in six months." this is the proof: https://www.yahoo.com/tv/better-call-saul-gordon-smith-interview-rico-114490318520.html

Spoiler

I think I've mentioned this before but I really recommend the Better Call Saul podcast to anybody who is a fan of the show. If nothing else, then for Gilligan who is on each episode. They covered this scene with the actor who plays Hamlin. Good stuff.

Thanks for mentioning this.

I'm up to 1.03 and catching up as I can.

If you like BCS, and podcasts, this is a must-listen.

Yeah, I think part of his motivation for doing it was for his need for approval from Chuck but hiding it from him had more to do with his fear of failure and possibly his desire to be his own man in his brother's eyes and not having to owe him for his achievement. Chuck probably would have knocked him down a peg every time he failed the bar exam.

I don't know how you could NOT see it that way. That's exactly what the writers intended. It's clear that Chuck is extremely non-committal about the job, and looks quite uncomfortable even talking about it.

Incredible episode. I loved the Mike episode but this one really showed the potential of the show long term. The transition to Saul might take a few seasons and might not be as clear as many anticipated.

Yeah it's gonna be a fun transition. I personally never anticipated this type of a show. I guess I didn't read a lot of media clippings, but I thought we were just gonna see a funny show about Saul Goodman doing all kinds of shady lawyer stuff and cracking one-liners.

What we are getting is a Breaking Bad II. I guess the fall Jimmy to Saul Goodman isn't as dramatic as the fall from Walter White to Heisenberg, but the more we learn about Jimmy, the harder it is to imagine him doing the things he did in BB, which means we are in for a treat.

Agree.. but I'm liking the good Jimmy enough that I'm at what may happen to create Saul. A tragic treat?

I'd say that Jimmy gets the shaft when it comes to this lawsuit, and Mike comes to him to help with some legal issues with his new job and thus Jimmy, feeling shafted by his brother, and looking to make more money, joins Mike... Guessing the destruction of Jimmy is the final episode of this season.

 

[FlapJacks]

my take on Jimmy so far:

we see a guy who's an outsider....he's not good enough for his brother's law form, not good enough for Kim, not even good enough to represent the Kettlemans until they get desperate. He's shown that he's an amzingly talented lawyer and gets stuff done,ike finding the Kettlemans, getting the money back, doing the work on the class action....better than probably most of the HHM guys....after a period of time of out-producing the insde guys and failing to gain acceptance, he will break. I think, at some point, Kim will be the catalyst, by either rejecting hiim or backstabbing him, or maybe she has just been using him all along, recognizing his talent and keeping it to herself as a resource...her secret weapon...

 

[shadyridr]

Jimmy obviously loves his brother and highly values his opinion so count me in the camp of those that think he turns into Saul Goodman after his brother's death. Otherwise he wouldn't want to disappoint him.

He's too real...he doesn't speak the same language, verbal and non-verbal as those who went to the good schools and rub elbows with those in that cocoon. despite his talent, he's a bit different than a typical member of that crowd

I'm curious as to whether the bolded is possible.

How it's supposed to work is, before you undertake a case of this (or really any) magnitude, you get a written agreement as to how the attorney(s) will get paid. Presumably these nursing home folks aren't able to pay a straight hourly, so there would be some split of the recovery (aka contingent fee). Industry standard is attorney gets 1/3 of recovery plus out-of-pocket fees that were fronted. (Incidentally, you never see an offer like there was in the last show - $46k for damages and $46k for attorneys, the offer is a dollar number, and plaintiff's attorney's split with plaintiff is their business).

When you have more than one attorney or law firm, they should have a written agreement as to how they will split the recovery. They don't have that here, so they're basically like any other people fighting over money without a written agreement. One thing that's typical, at least in my state, is a 1/9th cut (i.e. a third of the third that is industry standard) to the attorney that finds the case and refers it to another outfit better suited to handle it.

HHM could certainly argue that Jimmy is only entitled to hourly compensation since he doesn't have the blue hairs signed on to any written agreement, as far as we know.

ETA it's not about who files the case. It's entirely possible that nothing ever gets filed if it settles truly "out of court."

Might take away from the tv show or this discussion or whatever, don't care, love the lawyer/law firm info dropped in here as I become more and more curious about it.

[Dr. Octopus]

Jimmy obviously loves his brother and highly values his opinion so count me in the camp of those that think he turns into Saul Goodman after his brother's death. Otherwise he wouldn't want to disappoint him.

His brother has been his moral compass thus far. He is the main reason, Jimmy generally tries to do the right thing - and is conflicted when "bad" opportunities arise. The fact he wanted to hide his "hero saves the dangling man" story from his brother (when it was an obvious set-up for publicity) illustrates this. I agree that as long as Chuck is around we likely will not be seeing Saul Goodman.
