Real Lawyer Reacts to Better Call Saul (Episode 1)

⚖️ Do you need a great lawyer? I can help! legaleagle.link/eagleteam ⚖️
Why do bad things happen to good lawyers? Before he was Saul Goodman he was Jimmy McGill -- but he was always a great lawyer. Today we’re going to review Better Call Saul. Stay until the end for my Legal Realism Grade!
I loved Breaking Bad. And Saul Goodman was one of my favorite characters. Despite being down on his luck and faking his own name, he somehow always managed to give good legal advice to certain meth dealers in Albuquerque. Not surprisingly I REALLY enjoyed this show. Are there other episodes that are particularly good? Would you like me to react to another one? Let me know in the comments!

Pocket Squares: amzn.to/2UfsKtL
▶ Why Indochino Suits? (50% off Premium Suits + free shipping) [legaleagle.link/indochino]: Off-the-rack suits NEVER fit right. Indochino makes fully custom suits that fit perfectly using any material I want, with all of the options I want. And they cost 1/3rd of what normal suits costs. I’ve purchased them with my own money for years, so I’m thrilled they are now a sponsor.
▶ Why Ties from TheTieBar? (Free shipping on orders over $50) [fave.co/2ImLY9I]: Normal ties are too fat. Skinny ties are too skinny. So these days I only wear ties that are exactly 2.5” wide. They are fashionable without being hipster. You see them in all of my videos. TieBar ties are perfect, come in every color I want, and never cost more than $19.
▶ Why these Tie Clips? [amzn.to/2WIQ6EE]: It’s really hard to find affordable tie clips that are the right size (1.5”), look good, and are great quality. These tie bars are all three. Plus the 3-pack gives a variety of styles. They pair perfectly with 2.5” ties from TheTieBar (above).
▶ Why these Pocket Squares? [amzn.to/2UfsKtL]: I like my pocket squares perfectly, well, square. Like straight-out-of-Mad-Men square. The only way to do that is with a stiffer material that keeps its shape. I’ve exhaustively tried dozens of pocket squares, and these are by far the best. It’s how I get the perfectly flat pocket square you see in my videos.
--------------------------------------------------
I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous. Today I'm taking a break from teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

[@V3Valhalla]

One of the writers of the show, George Mastras I believe, also wrote on Breaking Bad and he's a lawyer so I'm sure Bob worked very close with him on both shows

[@wolfelkan8183]

Objection: Goodman makes his closing argument _before_ the prosecutor shows the video, which serves as his closing argument. In a trial, the prosecution always goes first. If the prosecutor wanted to show a video for his closing argument, it should have come before, allowing Goodman to respond to it. (This is the only error I saw, and I'm guessing it's what brought the final grade down from an A to an A-)

[@troygwartney9425]

Overruled - In most jurisdictions, the government gets the last word because they carry the burden. I'm pretty sure New Mexico is like this or would have been like this at the time. Some jurisdictions recognize that this is unfair, given the power of the State and have reversed the order. In Federal Court, the prosecutor closes, then the defendant, but then the prosecutor has an opportunity to reply to the defendant's close.

[@crienospmoht]

I caught a municipal court judge in NJ taking his formal looking judge's robe off post trial. That guy had nothing but a Jimmy Buffet concert tee and tighty whiteys on under that shit lol. He was unshaved, and looked like he just woke up and drove to work without any hygiene routine whatsoever. I looked it up, the average judges salary in NJ is between 183, and 205 k/yr. Add the kickbacks he probably gets from prisons to lock up as many people as possible, and he gets plenty of money not to look like a homeless guy they found in Penn station and put a judges robe on his stank ass. He looked soo miserable too, I couldn't help but think about what a tough life the poor guy must have. Showing up for ,"work"' as late as he wants, and he was at least 90 min late every day. Then he has to pass judgement on others and fine the shit out of them, lock them up or both, while being as condescending, and disgusted with them as possible. I know they worked hard to get where they are, and he'd probably make more as a defense attorney, but all he has to do is work 2 or 3 times a week tops for maybe 3 hours. Plus it's not really work, there's no labor at all, and he has clerks to do all his paperwork. He just reads conditions, and fines right off a script. 999 out of a 1000 people would trade jobs in a heartbeat. Cops are the same way, the poor guys have to drive around and harass folks who kiss their ass all day. Probably once a day they get to arrest someone for a unpaid ticket warrant, or possession. Then they act like their life is on the line all day every day when 99% of them patrol really nice areas, or highways. My small town has over 70 of the pigs, while Camden, Trenton, and Newark have a handful. Camden has spots so bad cops, and ambulances won't even go there or they will get jacked for their whip. Imagine calling 911 cuz your having a heart attack, and they tell you to walk a few blocks over cuz they're shook to go into your hood. They should definitely take half the cops from the rich, crime free areas of NJ where there not needed and put them in the hood.

"Saul Goodman gave good legal advice. It was in the context of a drug dealing psychopath, but still." I am reminded of a quote: A ship is safe in port.

[@Curt_Sampson]

@@MrMongoose221 While there certainly is the concept of fair use, copyright owners are under no obligation to determine whether a particular use could reasonably be considered fair use before requesting a takedown or suing someone. It's not at all unusual for some copyright owners to request a takedown against every use they can find, and consider withdrawing it (on fair use grounds or otherwise) only if there's pushback. This happens even more often when a copyright owner hires someone else to find this content and file the takedown notices. And yes, this does rather chill free speech and criticism, I reckon.

OBJECTION: Even with "permission" granted to the owners property a few things have to be established: 1. Legal deed (right of authority) 1a) Capacity to authorize rights of deed and ownership 2. Current dwelling or established occupancy rate 3. That "access" of said property does not unreasinably violate or perjur current legislation for deemed "usual & customary" for said access, as in; no criminal exploitations which would violate said owners "reasonable enjoyment" and wherein "consent" is not implied for forms of harassment, criminal infringments, exploitation. Example: you let a person on your property "to talk" to you as requested. They force your house door open, have a side arm in their hand fully loaded and the safety off while uttering a threat to use said firearm with "a lot of drama in front of your kids". This is where "consent" and "reasonable" crosses the bounds of harassment & assault, wherein; "ought to have known" the actions conducted upon "permitted access " violated the owners expectation and permissable legal conduct was extremely prejudicial.

I would love for you to do episode 4 of the first season! I worked for a documentary film making company and I was an archivist, so we had to deal with fair use items all the the time. So when I heard Saul/Jimmy and Howard Hamlin talking about fair use, incorrectly I might add, I was bummed! I love BB and BCS, and was honestly shocked at the blatant misunderstanding of fair use in Vince Gilligan's writing. He's usually pretty darn close, haha. Anyways, I doubt you'll get to it but I had a MOMENT hahaha and thought I'd mention it after watching this one. Love your videos!
