    I'm a lawyer. Reading this post has just cost you £50 plus VAT. I'll send you my bill shortly.

    Oooo, those damn lawyers! I ain't payin' you nothing! Heh, I actually even considered one time to go to a law school. Maybe I should've.

    A notaris-notaire-notar is an independent jurist as well as a functionary. The documents made by a notaris are executable, like judgements are.

    Part of the job consists of mediation, trying to make parties agree about certain issues and thus avoiding law suits.

    Well, this is what I do in a nutshell, I hope it's clear. The profession is quite complicated and covers a broad area, so it's not easy to explain in a few sentences.

    The Belgian notary can be compared with the French notaire and the German notar. The profession should not be compared with the Anglo-American "notary public".

    I hope to be a notary myself one day. So other AndresTheCunnings can be my slaves
    Fascinating. Kind of like Heinlein's Professional Witnesses (in his Stranger in a Strange Land, Jubal, the crotchety old lawyer/doctor character, kept 2-3 women on retainer who, when they donned their official robes, kept scrupulous record of what they saw, heard, tasted, physically felt, and smelt... the better to report to a court what actually occured in a given time and place. Sort of a cross between a court-reporter, a (US) notary, and an 'expert witness').

    There is certainly a need for such a functionary in today's world of spin, bias and public relations.

    LoL. You sell yourself cheap, here (SoCal, US). $250 (about £130) per 'billing hour' is the norm - a billing hour being whatever seconds, moments and/or minutes of any particular hour an attorney's attention is directed to his/her client's concerns . I'm pretty sure Pindar will back this assertion.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I mostly sell people stuff they don't need, over the internet thingy, but at very good prices. Then I also have to double as customer service manager, despatch clerk, and general IT troubleshooter. I fritter away the company's broadband fees on inappropriate posts to the org! Oh and I swear at customers a lot, but only AFTER I've put the phone down (mostly ). My staff cower in the corner muttering about heart attacks and too much coffee....

    In true "customer service" style I believe that "the customer is always right" ....

    Ah but I bill in units of six minutes.

    Explaining this has just taken another unit, so that will be £100 plus VAT please
