Do you ever see somebody in your life going to law school and get genuinely worried that they're only doing it because they were inspired by Legally Blonde ? This has happened to me a non-zero number of times. I don't have these concerns because I don't think blonde women are capable of mastering the legal profession. However, after one too many Elle Woods quotes posted on their Instagram story while studying for the LSATs, I got a little concerned. Being a lawyer is really difficult. It's not…

I could never be a lawyer. This is partly because I do not care about the law that much. I have never wished I could spend the rest of my life engaging with legal documents. From what I've heard, law school is a terrible idea for people who are not passionate about it, so that would never work for me. As the writers of one of the only critically acclaimed CW shows, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , one said: Don't be a lawyer! Don't do it, quickest way to ruin your life Don't be a lawyer! Not worth it, it'…

I think it's safe to assume that offering legal representation to a member of your family who is divorcing another member of your family is a pretty obvious conflict of interest. That didn't stop u/redpanda891 's brother-in-law, who thought it would be just fine to take her ex-husband as a client.

There's nothing worse than having an impenetrably bad roommate . They refuse to budge no matter how much you ask them to clean or pay their bills. I feel like I could tolerate a roommate that is bad but owns it. Like yeah, they are never around and don't do much around the house, but they at least don't try to make foolish excuses for their poor behavior. The worst breed of roommate is those who are incompetent but try to justify it with psychological concepts to make it seem like you're the on…

Hey lawyers, are you okay? I think the answer, for many of you, is a resounding “no.” That whole trope of parents wanting us to be lawyers seems pretty messed up based on all the memes lawyers are making about how terrible - and terribly tiring - their lives are. After slaving away at school, it seems that you have a whole lot more work to look forward to, and because of that, a pretty oppressive schedule and a dubious quality of life. But then there's the whole paycheck thing. Based on these l…

It's fitting

There's no shortage of shady employers out there laughing maniacally as they exploit the meek and unassuming. But a law firm attempting to illegally trick a fellow lawyer into doing free work for them? Some people are as audacious as they are stupid.

There are many unjust reasons why someone might get fired these days. You can get fired for drinking a tea before you pay for it. You could get fired because a Karen demands it . You can even get fired for simply doing what your company asks of you. However, being sick is one of the cruelest reasons for being terminated without pay.

Take a break from tort law for five minutes and look at some memes instead.
