I'll leave any further comment on that one to Mark..lol
In any event, I didn't really think that your post was with regard to getting your own ass into law school even though today's affirmative action standards might be ludicrous enough to facilitate same.
What I would say though is that if you have a question then ask it so that people might help you.
Moreover, if you have a legal problem, there may be some type of legal aid institution in your area which is willing to help or at least provide you with a free consultation.
Failing the above there is also craigslist. I see posts on there all the time stating things like "need top lawyer but have no money to pay anything." |

"need top lawyer but have no money to pay anything." Does That Work?!
If it does, I wish I had thought of that! There are so many times that I could have used that.
(But internet access is kinda difficult from a jail cell. :p ) |

We try to restrict our comments and suggestions to guitars, music in general, and sometimes specific & critical medical advice. |

Maybe I should be askin' for guitar advise on the Porsche forum. |

Location: Tennessee | I think we've run most of the lawyers off ... except the ones with Porsches. Ego problems, you see. I'm no lawyer, but I've paid them a lot of money over the years and now have got a couple of them in the family. They can be handy to have around. I know lots of people who went to law school. Not many of them play guitars tho'. Except for the group The Firm, who sued the other group The Firm who was a supergroup but everyone's forgotten them now. I wonder if the original group got their name back now and if they had to pay back the money they got for giving it up in the first place. They probably found a legal way around that, being lawyers and all. Back on subject, I feel as qualified to answer your questions about law school as almost any other off-topic subject that we all take our stabs at here. So fire away. I even met a judge (sort of a super lawyer) who plays guitar over at Moody's house. Two or three times even. Except now that I think about it, he had a Martin. A nice one. He probably hangs out on the Martin board. |

Actually, most of them are pretty decent people. Like everybody else, there are good ones, bad ones, and ugly ones.
I do know one lawyer who was proud of owning an expensive Taylor and thought it was a good thing that he kept it carefully in it's case and didn't play it much.
I don't work for him anymore. We had some conflict issues...... |
