[@testing7802]

I think high schoolers should be required to take a basic law class. It would help kids with logical thinking skills, creative problem solving, and additionally inform them what happens when you break laws 🤣 but also knowing the basics of legal documents is an essential skill for everyday life. They would also get an idea of a career in law is truly something to think of for the future. I have met countless attorneys who didn’t know they would hate it until law school started.. then there was no backing out. It would certainly be more useful than taking pre calc.

[@andrewsegal8367]

I agree and I know a number of lawyers who do not enjoy practicing. The practice of law is a broad field and I think people interested in this field need to investigate the different roles played by lawyers. I am a criminal defense lawyer and I spend a great deal of time in court. There are other lawyers who spend their careers without ever going to court or meeting clients. I agree that it would be helpful for folks to at least have a basic understanding of how lawyers think as it helps to form and understand arguments and this can apply in many situations.

[@isabelamacavei1333]

Great joke, I loved it and it made me laugh! I almost thought you would say "define four!" :) You made a great point with the blood shot eyes; there is a particular case in which an erratic driver was stopped, and the police officer who happened to be a veteran Corpsman smelled alcohol on the driver's breath. Instead of submitting him to the drunk test, he immediately called the Ambulance because that was also a symptom of diabetic coma. The man was saved because of that apparently insignificant supposition but very handy knowledge. Needless to say that that type of feedback was given to the fellow officers, so they also can learn a lesson of potential life threatening disease, and not assume drunk driving symptoms though it is arguably the same risk when behind the steering wheel (note: of a moving vehicle).

[@theartfuldodger935]

How to think like a lawyer? Prosecutor: "If I win this big case, I can run for political office". Defense Attorney: "If I get this guy off, I can raise my legal fees". Today's legal system is a bastardization of the original design and intention of the adversarial system. The emphasis is on winning. Ergo, you get courtroom theatrics, skillfully designed Yes-No questions designed to paint a witness inside a box and present a false conclusion to the jury, etc. To be sure, the client is most interested in winning. But lawyers should be more interested in serving the public. It matters not who comes out on top in a criminal trial so long as the prosecution was forced to jump thru all of the hoops and present clear evidence of the guilty act and the requisite state of mind and the defense did its due diligence and put forth all relevant defenses and reasonable alternative theories. In the end, the public must win. The public must feel confidence regarding the outcome; that the convicted are indeed guilty and deserve punishment or the acquitted are indeed innocent and safe to resume their place in society. We do not have this today. Not in America.

[@dennishickey7194]

You are well- meaning but woefully in the dark. This is deliberate on the part of the ABA. To not overburden you let's start here: if any due process was in place why would it ever be "necessary"to forge felony transcripts into fake history? I encourage you to really ponder what this means.

[@theartfuldodger935]

@@dennishickey7194 Well, thank you Captain Arrogant. What "felony transcripts" are you referring to? "Fake history"??? Difficult to ponder non sequiturs. Do you perhaps have your wires crossed? Are you attempting to debate the KNOWINGLY fake dossier used to obtain a FISA warrant plus THREE 90-day extensions (i.e. submitted FOUR separate times to the FISA court) in order to substantiate a wire tap on the Trump campaign in 2016?

But in real life the lawyers don’t fight & think like this in court. Infact I met a very lazy & Douche female lawyer who wouldn’t argue a defence because of lack of courage & inexperience.. she accepts prosecution without challenging facts... she end up stealing my $1000 unjustly because I refuse for her to represent me in court. and the lawyers in court often keep it very simple they don’t argue shit. You will need an expensive and experienced lawyer to go this path... you also need to go on trial for your lawyer to be able to argue at all, evidence & defenses to support you.
