That's all I was trying to say earlier. It's a tough job sometimes. But from what I know of you, I don't think you take clients who don't "deserve" yo be zealously advocated for. You seem like a really good guy.
I never did it when I was a defense guy
Yeah I have a certain lines I won't cross. Sometimes I don't know where the line is until my toes are on it though. Not sure I could do sex crime defense for example. I just can't see myself destroying a rape victim on the stand or maybe I could if the evidence was there, I don't suffer liars very well, that's one of those hazy lines I was talking about. But I can't see myself doing the she's a slut defense in any case. Which seems to be pretty popular in that line of work.
Yeah not sure what I would have chosen if I had gone that way. I was always interested in patent law and coupled with my interest in science that seemed like it might be a good fit. But it wasn't to be. I did have University of Pennsylvania interested in giving me some sholarship help at one point but yeah who needs that right? Kids are dumb.
Do you have a science degree?
Even better. Have you considered getting your law degree late in life? Most of the happy lawyers I know did that.
I would love to. But I have an issue with a wife who has been under medical care for over a decade and a ton of medical debt because of it. But for better or worse right? So it probably isn't in the cards for me.
That's true. I had a client break down on me 2 weeks ago when I was questioning her in a divorce prove-up her husband refused to attend.People will cry without being harassed on the stand.That's why you're the lawyer and I'm asking questions.What about "badgering the witness?"
really just one - that you never share my actual identity with these freaks on this board.You'd make a good lawyer. And a fair one. There aren't enough.
I had to cross a woman in a case where she believed her unborn child had been lost in a car accident. Not only was there substantial evidence that the fetus had died earlier, I also had to bring out the previous abortions she'd had when she was younger. Even with a soft cross, she cried the whole time and I felt like a heel. I got a defense verdict, but felt like crap.
Jesus.
You might be surprised how many secret identities I already know. I have met 2 to 3 dozen of our fellow posters. I definitely never reveal that info. Anonymity is what makes it work.
"May you live in interesting times."
That's pretty impressive. I will defintely keep it in mind. And I like your work here as well.
Is this a polygamy thing? I know it's an investment, but I feel like a second wife would be a bigger status symbol way better than a Ferrari.
And if your opponent knew about this beforehand, it's his fault you had to do this - not yours.
Then it's completely his fault. Sorry you had to do that.
Jesus. That's so much worse than you bringing it up. He should be sanctioned.
12 a year. We actually report every other year so it's really 24 every 2. Because everything had to be stupid in New Jersey.
30 in Illinois with at least 6 professional responsibility. Biggest racket out there.
IL is 30 hours every two years; all can be done online.
Oh. Much easier.That's every two years.
If it had been properly objected to, I bet it would have been excluded. Because of what you cited. But it wasn't.I think the only real argument is "you didn't really want to be a mother anyway, right?" And that wouldn't fly with any judge I know.
Not to mention that if she was in her second trimester the correlation breaks down completely. Not to take anything away from Fish but that guy must have sucked.
Pa is 12. Of which 1 needs to be ethics. I need to squeeze 4 in this year still.
