I am starting senior year in a few months and then heading off to law school.

Are there any practicing lawyers who frequent the WF?

    Not sure.

    Have you tried looking for floating lawyers in your local river/lake/ocean?

    As this thread will devolve into a lawyer joke-fest, I might as well get the first one in.

    So that blind people can hate them as well.

      • How about your daughter saying that "she wants to be a LIAR like my Boss!"

        She meant to say, that she wanted to be a Lawyer like my rich boss so she could buy me a car .... in three different colours!

    Why do you want a lawyer that still has to practice?

    If you found any lawyers in this forum they may advise you
    to skip law school and start creating your own products, etc.

    You had to know all this was coming.

    Seriously, education is cool and good for the brain and other
    things, and you'll have good experiences. Meet some cool people
    when you come up for breath from studying.

    Actually, I do remember a post or two mentioning a name of
    someone here who is a lawyer, but sorry cannot remember the
    name. So I think there are probably a few floating around.

    This thread reminded me of a joke... can't remember where I first read it:

    How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?




    • Such number as may be deemed to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement: Whereas the party of the first part, also known as 'The Lawyer', and the party of the second part, also known as 'The Light Bulb', do hereby and forthwith agree to a transaction wherein the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be removed from the current position as a result of failure to perform previously agreed upon duties, i.e., the lighting, elucidation, and otherwise illumination of the area ranging from the front (north) door, through the entry way, terminating at an area just inside the primary living area, demarcated by the beginning of the carpet, any spillover illumination being at the option of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and not required by the aforementioned agreement between the parties.
    • The aforementioned removal transaction shall include, but not be limited to, the following steps:
    1. The party of the first part (Lawyer) shall, with or without elevation at his option, by means of a chair, stepstool, ladder or any other means of elevation, grasp the party of the second part (Light Bulb) and rotate the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a counter-clockwise direction, said direction being non-negotiable. Said grasping and rotation of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) shall be undertaken by the party of the first part (Lawyer) with every possible caution by the party of the first part (Lawyer) to maintain the structural integrity of the party of the second part (Light Bulb), notwithstanding the aforementioned failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) to perform the aforementioned customary and agreed upon duties. The foregoing notwithstanding, however, both parties stipulate that structural failure of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) may be incidental to the aforementioned failure to perform and in such case the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall be held blameless for such structural failure insofar as this agreement is concerned so long as the non-negotiable directional codicil (counter-clockwise) is observed by the party of the first part (Lawyer) throughout.

      Upon reaching a point where the party of the second part (Light Bulb) becomes separated from the party of the third part ('Receptacle'), the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of disposing of the party of the second part (Light Bulb) in a manner consistent with all applicable state, local and federal statutes.

      Once separation and disposal have been achieved, the party of the first part (Lawyer) shall have the option of beginning installation of the party of the fourth part("New Light Bulb"). This installation shall occur in a manner consistent with the reverse of the procedures described in step one of this selfsame document, being careful to note that the rotation should occur in a clockwise direction, said direction also being non-negotiable.
    NOTE: The above described steps may be performed, at the option of the party of the first part (Lawyer), by said party of the first part (Lawyer), by his heirs and assigns, or by any and all persons authorized by him to do so, the objective being to produce a level of illumination in the immediate vicinity of the aforementioned front (north) door consistent with maximization of ingress and revenue for the party of the fifth part, also known as 'The Firm'.

      Why on earth will you pay 30-50 grand a year to have someone teach you
      to talk like that?

      Good luck getting laid, man.

      "Hey baby... can I buy you that aforementioned drink?"

      "Oh... what was that you said about maximization of ingress?"

        Ha, love the lawyer jokes!

        I knew it would become a lawyer joke fest; it also just might attract the attention of a potential mentor .

        The Floating Lawyer might give me nightmares.

    @JayExtreme - I emailed your Lawyer joke to my favorite attorney, she emailed back...

    "What a well-drafted agreement!"

    She tells me there really is only one lawyer joke. All the others are true.

      LOL.... true.

      But seriously...

      My lawyer has, in the past, been very good to me, so I can't hate on them too much
