@crwth also from my careful perusal of french crime procedurals, I'm pretty sure it's entirely mostly legal for you to hire an attractive but ruthless junior lawyer to be the public face of your machiavellian, mob-funded legal chambers.
france and florida are basically the same probably.
it's kinda surprising how necessary lawyers are
one of the funniest things I've ever seen was a lady in court try and lawyer for herself at a misdemeanors court that I was casually observing (figure it's nice to exercise a few of my citizen's rights every once in a while)
anyways, she got confused by the proceedings and ended up paying the full $2500 dollar fine for deliberately attacking some old lady's car while drunk, even though the judge had offered her the ability to pay the cost of repairs (about $1200)
since I was taking notes on random statistics (mainly what charges and the punishments therein) I made the note "always get a fucking lawyer and don't be a dumb bitch if it's above $250", which will probably help me later in life.

Well shit, that one is easy to pass. The answer to every question is "hang the black guy".
Question 14: Are you some big city lawyah?
A: Yes
B: No
C: Ain't
D : Thumbs-in-suspenders
E: C and D
for the third time!
i took it as a sign that there are better people than me (like, say, munkus and zen) that can be lawyers
i'll be here drowning in my own debt and poor decisions until i am dead
(congrat, munkus!)
So, like, free consultations for all of us now, right?
Now go fucking contribute.
you could be a clerk, right?
or go into politics. Lots of politicians have basic law degrees but never bothered with the bar.
Crwth for webcrumblics president?
and want you to be a coolkid whatever you do
so would you say that you ain't passed the bar, but you know a little bit?
I'm pretty sure it's a documentary
Secondly, how long till you become this?

"A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client."
Oh god, Buttlord GT. I remember when a bunch of folks, myself included, did a live reading of that in tinychat.
Good times.
Anyway, many congratulations, Munkus. May your lawyering be prosperous yet reasonably ethical.
