Thanks. I don't how many times you have seen "A Few Good Men" but I have seen it a lot. I was doing a jury trial on a dumbass criminal case and the State objected to one of my questions... I go " The defense didn't have an opportunity to depose this witness, your honor. I'd ask the Court for a little latitude." I guess it was too obvious because the judge actually started laughing... Later he made himself part of the game and he would work movie lines into the script in open court. That job was a good time, too bad it paid next to nothing.

lol that would have been great to watch .

^^ well hit me up in a pm and I will give you the straight truth about how much you can make and what good options are. I applied to the FBI and passed 2 of their tests and then changed my mind. My buddy applied at the same time and I know exactly how much he makes, he gets a pension also, and how difficult it is to get those jobs (not difficult for JDs). If you are going to be a cop, law school is a good idea, but not the only way to get those jobs (but it is the easiest route IMO).

Why are you looking for a career path?

Pretty much. I have been interested lately in criminal justice/education fields, and I kind of have this plan to go into some sort of law enforcement for 20 years, retire, get my retirement pension, then go teach when I am in my 40s. But I don't know... I am still trying to figure shit out. I am almost done with my first two years in college so that means I need to have something to study after this instead of these general courses.

Nah, as long as it fits and you aren't just making random outbursts, what is going to happen? Theoretically if you are making a mockery of the court, you could be held in contempt, but that wouldn't be enough... people work their speech patterns around pop culture all the time. What is he going to say, "is that a line from a movie? Contempt!" I would have have appealed and filed an ethics complaint against him after I won. Then I would have tried to remove him from all my cases... lawyers can fuck with judges just as much as the other way around.

Okay, cool.

Well if you ever get the chance in the future I want you to work this into one of your goings on:



"Tong Po . . . raped me."

^^ It depends where you go to school amd where you live. It also depends on what you want to do. But for the most part...Right after law school? Somewhat difficult. But within about 5 years, it is pretty easy. Honestly a lot of lawyers are fucking morons. So just having a semi-pleasant personality and not being retarded generally means you can make a decent living. There are a lot of lawyers out there not making money, but they are generally fuck ups that would not have been successful in any realm. A lot of grads think that since they are out of school they should start raking it in, but generally you still don't know anything when you get out of school. So if you actually learn how to do something, your value goes way up quickly.

Why are you looking for a career path?

[poopoo333]

How hard is it to be one of the lawyers that make like $100k+ a year after getting done with law school?

[MMA_scientist]

That's incredible.

I figured shit like that would get you fined or something.

Scientist, you are my fucking hero.

I think he is everyone's hero.

[Svino]

Regarding Kimbo: He's probably a nice enough guy, but it sounds like he never had a good work ethic, or even that much talent. I think he was humble around the guys on TUF because he knew his own limitations enough to realize that he was among people who would probably beat him, and he was at the stage in his career where he was getting in over his head athletically. He just wanted to get a couple more high profile fights to make some money before he lost too often and killed his marketability.

They would be like, "Mr. P can you stand up and brief Hadley vs. Baxendale, give me the issue and the rule it stands for." I would just go "I didn't read it." Like that was an acceptable answer... it works. It is like a little seed of doubt jedi mind trick. They are like "Is this guy a badass or really stupid, I can't tell." I use it in all facets of my life. I used to play a game with a buddy where we would try to work movie lines into actual live jury trials. .

Thats awesome

Lol how did you make it through 7 years of school?

I put the work in on stuff and I can turn it on when I need to. I am not lazy in life, but just in my attitude. I just don't have teh energy to get worked up about shit or wound tightly. Life is just too short to get caught up in a lot if bullshit. But since you mention school, it is common for law profs to belittle or intimidate 1Ls, but I never gave a shit.

I use it in all facets of my life. I used to play a game with a buddy where we would try to work movie lines into actual live jury trials. Some of my job interviews have been downright hilarious, I wish I had film. I just say the opposite of everything you are supposed to say. I use Office Space as my script and go from there.

Basically, I just don't give a shit. I value my family and friends, but I have never once cared about my job, school, grades, car, house, etc. I do what I can do (like I said, I do try, I was a good employee before I freed myself from the bonds of servitude, I was an A student), and shit either works out or it doesnt. It usually does though.
