What is the name of your state? California. This might not be the place to ask, but I didn't know where else to find help on it, so I'm sorry if this is the worng place. Anyways, my main goal to fulfill in life is to become a lawyer. My only concern is if I will be able to get into law school coming out of a junior college. Just finishing high school, I've tried to see how, or if, attending a junior college will affect my admission into law school. Although I do plan on transfering to a university after 2 years, i'm just going with the worst case scenario. I guess my question is, how will receiving my bachlor's degree from a junior college affect my chances of getting into law school?

Thanks,
BarleyMob

My response:

Do you remember having seen the following question?

"What is the name of your state?"

Can you tell me why you failed to respond to that question?

Sorry, I erased that question by accident when i first started writing and just forgot to put it back on. This forum by default adds that question in at the beggining. Anyways, I'm from California.

My response:

You said, "Sorry, I erased that question by accident".

You did?

If you're going to be a lawyer, then here's a lesson in issue spotting, and in fact finding. I want you to take a look at the copy of your original post in my initial response to you. You'll notice that the question, "What is the name of your state?" is stated twice (due to a glitch). However, it is, in fact, there. Now, how do you explain your statement "Sorry, I erased that question by accident" in the face of that evidence?

Were you lying then, or are you lying now?

If you were the defendant in a murder case, and I was a juror, how would you think that I would vote - - innocent or guilty?

At the end of my writing I clicked 'preview post' twice by accident, but never really looked over my message. I'm not quiet sure how this forum works, but I think by pressing the 'preview post' twice, it added that statement twice, thus explaining why it appears twice in my post.

Now back to my original question please.

Thanks,

And yet you posed this in a forum called "Auto Accidents and Vehicle Claims". Yep. Pretty much reaffirms everyone's opinions of junior college students.


Based on your original post and replies, I think you may be overqualified to attend law school. Perhaps you should aim your aspirations higher so as not to deprive the world of your intellect. Something along the lines of adult film acting, maybe?

My response:

The "issue" was NOT whether the question about the "State Name" was asked twice. The "issue" was why it was originally "unanswered" by you, despite the fact that it was asked twice. And, then you edited your post to include "California". That's a "fact". The "second issue" is whether you lied when you said you "erased" that question when, in fact, you NEVER "erased" that question - - you merely failed to answer that question. That's a "fact".

You have failed to adequately spot the real issues, and have failed to adequately respond to those issues. Therefore I, as a juror, find you guilty as charged. So, don't quit your day job.

As such, I have adequately answered your original question - - by way of example.

I AM ALWAYS LIABLE you are crude in your ways, but I can tell you are one hell of a laywer.

Question: Can you ever turn the lawyer side of you off? lol

I get a real kick out of the way you address and respond to questions.

You remind me of my family law attorney, and as far as I am concerned he was the best of the best. 250.00 an hour but he was worth 500.00 an hour. He was crude but when you got to know him he had a heart of gold.

My response:

That's why people "read" me. That's the whole idea behind my madness - - it's to keep people interested and reading what I have to say. People actually seek me out and my responses. They're interested and they know that they'll learn something - - with a laugh or two.

I can be extremely controversial and opinionated. Some people intensely hate me. Some people say they love me. But, in the final analysis, they come back, they tell their friends and family, and they read me. That's what matters.

It's all about holding people's attention, to teach them with humor, distain, or controversy. Law can be very "dry". I try to stir up the pot, and make it palatable and worth "eating". When someone comes back to tell me they dislike me, or dislike what I said, they are giving me confirmation that my writings are not going to waste. That people are getting "something" out of it - - whether they know it or not. But, if you don't entertain, they'll forget you, and whatever information you tried to convey.

People write to me to let me know that they have read me, and that they either like to read me, or hate to read me - - but read me they do! There's no such thing as "bad" publicity and I get a lot of both good and bad. FreeAdvice has grown since I came here nearly 5 years ago. They come here for the entertainment, the information, and hopefully, they leave having learned something whether they like it or not.

Thanks for writing to me and letting me know you read me.

Your right IAAL - as I am sitting here reading this post with my daughter. It’s nice to hear you speak so earnestly. When I come to this forum, I have asked some of my own questions, but I usually seek out your name to see what you have had to say here of late.

Wish you were closer to me here in Cali, as I would hire ya on the spot to handle what I've got going on!

Well Liable I like to give credit where credit is due. People in this forum that get mad and dont like the truth need to understand one thing. I personal dont know a lawyer that will let you come in his/her office and let you talk for free.

I will never forget the first visit I had with my lawyer over custody of my child. If I went the wrong direction with my info, he was quick to correct me. Was it always what I wanted to here? Nope, but I didnt pay him to make me feel good. I paid him to win custody of my child and he did an outstanding job of that. That what makes a good lawyer, not one that tickles your ears. Ear tickling does not win a case it simply cost the client a bundle of money. Its people like you that make this a great forum because you give sound advice and its FREE.

Keep up the laughs and good advice.

re: road to becoming a lawyer

Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg's legal career had its humble beginnings at Chicago's Crane Junior College. Ross Perot and Walt Disney both rose to the top after attending community colleges. If you have the drive, you can certainly create a path to whatever position you desire.

I add that you will need a stomach for the profession and many of its adherents. No doubt you will cross paths with characters such as IAAL. What percentage of his 30,000+ posts ( that equates to over 41 days spent NOT serving clients or alternately 1000 unbillable hours~OUCH!!) violate this user agreement?

""You agree that you will NOT post any knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, or threatening message. ""

What, I guess you believe pro bono service should not exist either. The man helps people FREE and you blast him for humor. Hell I paid a three thousand dollar retainer and on my first visit my lawyer threatened my wife with a BIG gun if she didn’t hush. It was in funny and we laughed about it.

Did you ever consider the fact that they do this to maintain their sanity?

Anyone needing a good lawyer should look for these traits. Would you suggest they look for a lawyer with no backbone. NO BACKBONE = Lost case and lost money

One day we all will stand as defendent in a court where no lawyer has ever been admitted

Are you refering to the judgement set of Christ and the great white throne judgement?

My response:

Wow! You sure know how to "prove" a point, don't you!

First, you take an assumed premise, and then you attempt to justify that premise by saying that I must not be serving my clients.

You see, my dear imbecilic "buriedinIgnorance", you're obviously coming from the premise that I'm an "employee" - - like yourself. There's your big mistake. Not all of us are "employees" like you. Did you even bother to read my "profile"?

Here's your answer: I'm an employer, not an employee. I own the law firm - - idiot stick! That means, my time is my own - - others now do my work for me - - the work I used to do. Now, and as it's been for many years, people make money for me while I employ them.

Is that too difficult of a concept for you to grasp? Let me know. I'll try to simplify it for you.
