Lawyers/judges should be paid min wage and all work for government like DMV or post office

lawyers/judges should be paid min wage and all work for government like DMV or post office

for a minute there i thought i lost my sense of smell but im pretty sure this guy is talking out of his arse

Ok, I'll bite. Why?

lawyers have no value
we ar eall poorer when private firms are able to monopoly overprice a forced good law service
better to replace with cheap software

no kidding.

a bunch of lawyers were yapping about the bar exam's fail rate.
so i took it for shits and giggles, having never gone to law school. passed, and now mock lawyers constantly

You understand not just anybody can sign up for the bar, and that it costs a lot to take it, so FAKE AND GAY

...

...

not all states require someone to have attended law school to sit for the bar

but yes it's expensive, but i got my money back since one lawyer stupidly bet me (having passed several practice ones i was fairly confident going in)

i could clarify just how i knew so much about law, but you dont believe me anyway so why bother

erase case law
none of it was voted for
get rids regulations and economy endless boom
gr8 dep from regs
end the bar

...

u know why a judge is paid a lot? So that u cant bribe him

is this porn as big as your penis?

Exactly, you are a full of shit person today.

if thinking that makes you happy, no skin off my back

Ecstatic.

>took bar exam
>is 12
>on the internet

12?? if only

clearly i'm no older than 5

As a postal worker that's a good laugh

More likely you tell yourself lurid tales of your own prowess to lull yourself into accepting your own mediocrity and failure.

As a lawyer I have met a few that apparently feel it necessary to question why anyone would be a lawyer when they could be in banking; real estate etc etc - the secret is that the money is half of it; helping others is what does it for most. And the moral and strategic challenges - is fun.

Nothing more idiotic than a communist law system.
In faith, a lawyer and kind of a commie

ah, another lawyer who can't accept that they spent 6 figures in law school and someone who hasn't can still learn enough to pass their silly test.

i'm not saying i got a very high score, or that i could actually practice as a lawyer, or get hired by an actual firm. or that i was completely unacquainted with the law, or didn't study quite a bit, or am suggesting that the average person could pass it.. in fact, i took several undergrad business law classes, and have read quite a few lawyer-written blawgs for 15 years now due to my interest in criminal justice

so identify the narrow thing i'm actually talking about, since you probably had the wrong idea

So;
>unemployed
>unemployable
>over educated
>entitled
>angry

Whew lad. That's what I get paid to deal with.

wow, projecting much?

i could see over-educated, perhaps entitled, not sure where you got the rest from

what, because i couldn't actually work as a lawyer, that means i'm not only unemployed, but unemployable? law is not even my field, just a personal interest

and angry, at what... this whole thing is hilarious

I make these 'educated' assumptions from what you write. You seem overly focussed on comparing your own life to that of lawyers - as though they are special - then decry them for not taking a test that you apparently practiced for and passed.

Are you employed? If so, as what? I am curious because you seem so upset about your choices.

I'm not that faggot doubting you. I'm genuinely interested in your story here. I was a law student for a few years but I never followed through with it.

Supposing you aren't paraphrasing Mike Ross from Suits, what was your story, and how did you make it happen?

>never followed through
The attrition rates are high for lawyers. It is shit for the first couple of years - it takes a lot to stick through it.

Your assumptions are you own projections, and thus wildly inaccurate.

(for not taking a test? what? all lawyers by definition have taken that test)

Maybe you should re-read my comments without coloring things through your own assumptions.

I work doing some specialized programming; upgrading legacy business applications. my actual degree is in psychobiology.

see how i got into that situation is having a good friend from college who's now biglaw, so the conversation and subsequent challenge arose from hanging out with him and his colleagues

True that. I couldn't stand the thought that my life would be a glorified clerk (solicitor) , or else a pompous ass wearing a wig trying to convince a 90 year old judge that my argument was superior to the opponent's. (Barrister)

It just did not make sense that this is 'life', that this is society's bar against oppression..

Gave it up and never looked back. Miss the $$$ though

>my argument was superior
I live for that.
Nothing better in this world then winning. Losing is always shit; but you get paid both ways.
>that test
Not in Oz it isn't. Though we have similar tests for Barristers which are analogous.

If you aren't a lawyer; why the focus on taking the test? Did you get any fulfilment from it? Sounds odd.

George?

Sadly no.

Dude, what happened in your childhood that you feel the need to try and 'win' every argument?

What happened to you that you seek your 'elders' approval at every trial you attend?

>replaced with cheap software
oh my fucking god, didn't they do this on Tim and Eric??? they did this on something, it was the 90's E court software skit. bahahaha.

i agree with the OP tho, these governments workers need to be paid less. who cares how long they went to school for, teachers go to school forever and get paid jack shit.

because while not wanting to practice law as a profession, it is a personal interest. like i said, undergrad business law and extensive self-taught criminal justice law for more than a decade.
so in a conversation about who failed the bar how many times, how many people failed it, with friends of my friend who were lawyers... i started teasing them that i bet i could pass it, and do it without spending over 100k and 4 years in law school
so since it was a personal interest anyway, i didn't shy away from 'oh yeah?'
i had several months lead time to study the areas where i was less familiar.. rules of evidence, hearsay exceptions, tort law, etc. there was money on the line at that point. so, it would be interesting, educational, and fun- what more motivation do i need to study up then stick it to them

Because it is exciting, scary, fun and rewarding.
Approval has nothing to do with it.
Well, if you did pass a Bar exam; well done mate. They are a serious challenge.

preparing for the essay was the hardest. the multiple choice, a lot of it is common sense and with just a little knowledge you can eek out a passing score. but to not look like a fool on the essay, it's a bit more difficult. looked at dozens of samples, memorized countless precedents, and got lucky with the one i got

it was hugely satisying. expanded and rounded out my knowledge in a field that interested me, won me a little money, and had a blast teasing the lawyers about it, they were shocked too.. my friend hadn't told them i already knew a shit ton of law beforehand.
