Christmas Dinner with a Lawyer

[Hopalong]

I'm not a lawyer, but I've been around long enough to know

That experience means much more than classroom book learning

No matter what the field.

School is just the beginning.

I'd say that one of the wisest things a young person can do

Is to figure out what they don't know, and be able to ask for help.

what walmart is selling MGs?
just in case she is correct, LOL

Road trip to Wal Mart, I'll drive if you buy the Mc D's french fries.

[ruchik]

Pics?

I second this. Pics, or it didn't happen.

USC grad no doubt. Should have gone to UCLA.

I have to respectfully disagree. She is clearly the product of the public school system.

[therealnickb]

Do they teach people ANYTHING in law school?

I believe much of the focus is on creating "billable hours".

I stopped reading at "recent law school graduate"...

I believe the reason the Second Amendment is not studied in law school is because, the bar exams are not focused on the Second Amendment, and very few lawyers actually handle cases involving that amendment. Constitutional law has many subareas of study, and the need to know the Second Amendment is too limited of an area of study.

That'll probably change when localities start getting sued (successfully) left and right. Right now, it's almost a guarantee you'll have to take a case all the way to SCOTUS to win. Few have the resources, time, and determination to do it. That's why it's basically the NRA and SAF doing all of it right now.

I'd wager many non-attorneys on this board are more versed than your average student right out of college when it comes to the 2A.

I doubt one lawyer actively on the bar today has argued a case involving the quartering of troops but I do expect a law student to know that the 3rd amendment controls. Now, an attorney practicing in a different field for a decade I can understand forgetting certain things but....

Just for the record, there is a difference between a "recent law school graduate" and one who has passed the bar (especially in CA) and is licensed to practice law.

+1,000,000!

Do they teach people ANYTHING in law school?

They teach them to argue law, not know the law (or the underlying facts).

Those WallyWorld MG's what kind of deals on those? Do they have M60's, SAW's, or MG42's? It's probably some junky Nippon Type 11 MG.

I can pretty confidently say it won't be gun law

I would suggest that she goes into politics. She has excellent qualifications to be a standout in the Senate.


Q: What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 40?

A: Senator.

"I must scream it to the world, my excitement from the top of someplace very high" that we have the smart lawyers on our side.

They are out of stock. I purchased all of them along with the last Veyron SS that they had. I'd suggest calling the manager hourly to see when they will get more in stock.

Apparently so did she.
