LOL...well, I have been out of the law practice for the last 9 months or so, but 99% of the male lawyers who I knew were married. Honestly, I haven't met many male lawyers that I actually liked, let alone was attracted to...lol.

the ones that were hitting on you.....were they gross old partner types or good looking and married ?

Usually the younger, good looking ones. Partners are too afraid of sexual harassment suits. ;-)

by leaving quietly in the morning?

Well, once I waited until after hours and then mauled a fellow junior attorney on the managing partners desk. I hated that partner...lol.
Just kidding.

I dated a couple of law students when I was in law school and dated one lawyer before I went to law school. As a whole, I don't get along with lawyers too well. They tend to be too type A and have sticks lodged up their butts.

During first year legal writing we agreed with the other half of the class to share our research so we could cut our time in the law library by half. They gave us case law that wasn't Shepardized, for those not familiar with the law, it was bad case law. You could chalk it up to incompetence or intentional deception for a better grade, I thought the latter. Too type A for me too.heatherrae said:

I heard lots about people hiding books to sabotauge other students and other nefarious deeds. However, at my law school, most of the students were really cool to each other. Either that or I was too naive to catch on...lol.JavaGuru said:

law school is just lawyer in training school.

law school is a strange little micro-culture all its own. If you have never heard of the socratic method, good for you. ;-)chilidog0425 said:

Bunch of little bastions of fair play and justice.
Maybe people telling me in abundance that I should have been a lawyer is an insult.
Damn, Maybe.

I, on the other hand, get the comments of "I would never have guessed you were a lawyer." I haven't yet determined if that is a compliment or an insult. ;-)

I get told that all the time... I think it's people that don't like that I am forcefull with my viewpoints... fuck em...
Funny thing is... I used to work for a law firm... in the top 10 in the US... I made more than most of the attorneys there, so I just smilled and nodded when the smug pricks tried to talk down to me... arrogant pricks...
Answering their HOME phones with lines like this: James C. Dooling III Esquire...
Fugging blow me... assplant!
Some prick even told me once that him and I didn't eat out of the same trough. Apparently *HE* was right though... anyone else would have been fired, but this prick is / was the go to guy for construction law anywhere in the US... brought in more money then god to the firm.
The managing partner, who is an ex-senator, wrote me a letter appologizing for the incident though... whoopie.

I would have told that asshole that you thought he was a slimy pig and he confirmed that he eats out of a trough. Oh yeah, and tell him there is a trough in the mens room at Dodger stadium where he can get a drink. ;-)

The fact that he was revered for the money he brought the firm negates any value of that firm in the practice of law.
It is simply a very profitable business.
The" you should have been a lawyer" is a submission that they are defeated but will not concede, really.
If some asswad told me that in those circumstances, I would have simply told him, you're right. Pigs eat out of troughs, I use a plate.
Then I would have shot him in the leg and fed him to pigs.
Wait. I mean, walked away laughing at him.

I said "Well, sir, I don't eat out of a trough" and hung up the phone.
I told the person I reported to, but told them I had no intention to take it any further. I simply documented it in an email to my boss. Weeks later I was invited to a meeting with some high up attorney on the board... they weren't confronting me - rather this prick attorney had complained that I had snubbed him and hung up the phone on him - but this guy knew better because many complaints had been made. So he wanted to talk to me to basically get the real story - the dirt - on this rainmaker. Or at least that's how he played it off. It was probably simply a way for said prick attorney to head off any damage I could possible do.
Whatever... means nuffin... I told them off the time when they got out of line.
