    Default What we'd all like to do to lawyers.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Actually in situations like this, I actually begin to appreciate what debate and law brings above stones and anarchy.

    Mind you if it wasn't for the wider social consequences... it would be great to be in the riot squad.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Lawyers, lawyers, lawyers, a job created so the people do not have to waste their breath.

    Indeed, beating up lawyers daring to protest for human rights and a transparent system of government...

    But then again, lets all jump on the "we hate lawyers bandwagon", never minding that they actually serve a valid purpose.

    Okay. I just think it is the working class and middle class having a laugh at the highly educated for once. Poetic justice, yes?
    We, those who have never been to a college/university, are generally the financial fodder for lawyers.

    Well, actually my Parents both grew up poor, yet I'm in Uni, studying law, more a case of determination and firm belief in what's right than the silver spoon.
    Same with most of the faculty.

    My dad drives a coach, my granddad was a dockyard worker, is it OK if I am a lawyer please?

    Rioting lawyers are teh bomb though. I especially liked the baldie chucking the brick at the filth*. You'd never get away with that in London.

    I am just making a joke. My brother is in fact studying law (Yes, we give him a lot of... ...for it, mostly because we envy his intelligence) and yes, the portly gentleman throwing the brick is very funny: it is actually my desktop background.
    Do lawyers get preyed upon by other ones?
    Have you ever represented yourself?
    Assuming that you, the lawyers, work with sometimes emotional and unpredictable people, do odd situations ever occur?

    Ah, but law has always been an emancipatory study. Jews in the nineteenth century, middle and lower classes in the twentieth, women in the seventies and eighties, ethnic minorities nowadays. Law faculties everywhere are full of the talented and unpriviliged, much more so than any other faculty.

    There must be sociological and psychological links between this and the behaviour of those practicing law. I'd be interested in reading more about this.

    I have seen how law students not only imitate, but in their ambitious eagerness, outdo, the vested classes in the language, tastes, clothes, manners. They're so good at it, so hungry for it, that eventually you can only tell the difference between them and older classes by their inability to relax in the exercise of these social norms at appropriate times.

    I'm not surprised at this.

    Boink! Big phat sudden insight gained here, and at no cost. Luigi, it's not only because of your humour that you belong in the HoF.

    That brings back some memories...I'm a law student, and I participated once as a volunteer in a drill for a Riot Control unit. Activities included being escorted for 15 minutes and trying to get away during that, barricadating a street entry and pelting the blueshirts with fake bricks, and so on.
    I learned that being knocked on the head does hurt
