In the context of what he said, the bikini didn’t even matter. Nobody would watch the video, which means nobody would be aware the person wore a bikini in it. You could send in a completely nude video, nobody would know except you. The bikini won’t hurt a chance that you already lost. The purpose of this video is facts and no pointless information, the bikini itself was actually pointless information and not relevant to the point he made.

One could technically put in the text is very brief link to a video… It would probably be dismissed… OK it would almost definitely be dismissed… But, technically, I have gotten away with certain things with permission from teachers’ and professors’ at a top 10 and top 30 school like this (OK, not exactly like this), in lieu of the required written essay, etc.… Not in an application though… Standing out does matter but, yeah…. Legally blonde the musical has a different way that this could theoretically have gone down… Later on her unlikely example of a student response shows her development, in some ways in real time…. The teacher is giving her a little more time to respond, think and work through her understanding and eventual presentation- and this professor shows a little more respect overtime as to the effort she puts in and her development. It is a general question which I guess I’m not an expert on and would not know if a law school professor would ever say that, but what’s next doesn’t seem too far off from some teaching styles…. If we don’t like the Socratic method, we even see the professor adapting a little bit to include the neuro diversity that is Elle Woods as it develops. I could see a teacher adapting styles and adapting to the needs of the students, which is certainly part of the idea of the character development - so it doesn’t seem super far-fetched me, even if it might seem so to the content creator…. It is of course part of a montage and serves its purpose, etc. I have seen such conversations in philosophy courses and other courses, but of course I have not gone to law school…. Finally, please don’t show any of my professors this dictated KZbin comment as it is thoroughly not proofread;)…. “I’m sorry I did not have time to write a shorter letter”;)

I was thinking...a 4.0 GPA in fashion merchandising from a good school is honestly impressive af. Realistically, an advisor would be trying as hard as possible to prepare her for the LSAT and her admissions essay, because she'd have a really good shot. If she got a 179 on the LSAT with that GPA, then I doubt anyone would care even slightly that her undergrad work was in fashion. That's utterly incredible.

Agreed! Elle was completely bullshitting and deliberately using important sounding jargon to help a friend despite probably knowing pretending to be a lawyer when she's not yet would have bad consequences for her. That scene was about the importance Elle puts in her friendships and what she's willing to risk for a friend in need. Of course she also had every reason to believe that guy would be too stupid to suss her out or that, if he ever did, he's probably too mired in illegal things to want to tangle with some rich white girl or any actual lawyers. At least that's what I've always thought when watching that scene.

I've always loved Legally Blonde, they broke the dumb blonde trope in the most epic way possible. I also think the part at the beginning when she's checking out the dress could've been included as well as the later scene with the discussion about the perm. Both scenes show her attention to details- like how she remembered that same dress was already in a magazine months ago and how she remembered that no one ever takes a shower right after getting a perm.

I’ve never understood why a degree in fashion merchandising is seen as a negative in the film. The keyword is *merchandising;* Elle is essentially studying business & marketing, just with a focus on the fashion industry. She has a 4.0 GPA, which means she’s acing *all* her courses. Not just the fashion ones, but the business ones as well. It makes perfect sense for someone with a background in business to go into law, especially with a focus on an industry as huge as fashion.

University admissions can be kinda dumb. It sounds like it's better in Elle's case but here in Finland, when we apply with our upper secondary school diplomas, the 'harder' subjects give more points to all majors, not just those they're related to. So if you took stem subjects, you can get into almost any major. They're trying to measure your intelligence according to what you studied. I don't know what applying to the masters' programs is like. I hope it makes more sense.

Objection! In the movie's defense, the scene where she's throwing out nonsensical legal jargon, that's the point. It's not pretending that shes doing otherwise. She doesn't know enough yet to actually argue the case, so she's just saying legal (or legal sounding) words knowing that the man won't realize that and will be intimidated. Still unethical, but the charge of nonsensical language is not about the legality/morality of doing that

LegalEagle’s point about studying in distracting environments is absolutely true. The best thing I did to prepare for real law school exams is to study with distractions (bad reality TV, typing ASMR/study with me videos, podcasts, music, public coffee shops). Law school exams are given in giant classrooms on everyone’s personal laptops, so everyone is making a lot of noise typing and rustling papers. The best way to prepare for that is to study with noise and distractions as much as possible because your brain needs to learn how to filter that stuff out and focus. An anecdotal example: I took an exam a few weeks ago where I was able to focus so well I didn’t even hear a classmate coughing during the entire 3 hour exam. All of my classmates were distracted by him but I didn’t even know it happened until after the exam was over.

My favorite English professor was big on Socratic method. The one time I totally froze, still trying to unpack the question itself, let alone answer... He must have noticed, because he then asked, "would it make you unhappy to answer right now?" And I said, "yes, it would make me unhappy to answer right now." He said, "Let's come back to it in a few minutes then." Ten minutes later he asked if I was ready to answer and I was. He pulled the neighboring desk over and we preceded to have a 20 minute conversation on the topic (which was still kinda nerve wracking because the man was crazy smart and I was new to the world of close analysis). But I've never forgotten being asked, "Would it make you unhappy to answer right now?" It completely changed my perspective on what classroom discussion was about. From then on I didn't feel compelled to have an answer when called on. I didn't feel put on the spot because I was called on. I could freely say, "I need to think about that, can I have a moment" or "I don't know, but I'm really interested." I was there to learn and taking an active role in learning sometimes means needing time to process or admitting ignorance. I never had any professors take exception to it; they seemed to appreciate it. It's an attitude that's served me well in life in general.

Depending on the case, if it goes to a jury or even judges today might find legalese misleading from the laymen written words if their meanings, dates, times, and other specifications are different. You have the last day for a 100% refund in legalese hidden on a pdf burried in a link is by 6/1/20... but you have the website proclaim it's 6/2/2020, particularly if this 6/2/2020 date is in more than one link page on the website, and especially more so if there is literal printed documentation with this other date. And the person demands a refund after this date only gets a 50% refund... therefore they wait and decide to return and refund after the 1st... and only get the 50% refund... most juries or judges will place the judgement against the defendant for the other half of the refund owed to the plaintiff. It's misleading, even bait and switch if done on purpose fraud, if done on accident still misleading, even if the website somewhere else especially very hidden has a disclaimer that whatever is on the website doesn't constitute a contractual obligation. Most juries and judges are fed up with companies either purposefully or accidentally posting contradictory pricing, dates, refund policies, warranty limitations, etc.

And since all she really wanted was to return Paulette’s dog to her (no money or other valuables = to his trailer), she may have felt it was a long shot Dewey had any money to sue her for misrepresenting as a lawyer if he found out.

@@stephanie22345 technically she could be considered an expert because I believe that was part of her major, but it also could be a conflict of interest. Although technically she wasn't really an attorney assigned to the trial. But if you are an attorney assigned to the trial I'm not sure if you can also serve as an expert witness. I don't think you can. That is a conflict of interest. You should get an alternate expert witness. Also, you can't just go on the stand, be a witness, and present your knowledge. You have to actually be scheduled to go on the stand. He has also said in his other videos that in most trials you will not be discovering new evidence. That happens in discovery. In a trial, all of the evidence should already be there and it is just being evaluated. The whole thing about not showering when you have a perm wouldn't have been a shock to anybody because it would've come up in the discovery portion of the trial. But since she wasn't an attorney I suppose your question would be if you are just observing the trial and you believe yourself to be an expert witness, can you get scheduled to go on the stand? I think probably you could contact the attorneys of that trial and get scheduled to present as an expert witness. Or they could find another expert witness to confirm the knowledge that you have. Some experts get paid as well.

@sabraewing9969 3 жыл бұрын
now if you actually are an attorney who is cross examining a witness, then yes you can use your own knowledge as well as the knowledge of other experts to cross examine them effectively. As the cross examining attorney, if you believe that their perm still being intact when they said they took a shower is relevant to the case, and the judge agrees, then you can ask about it. If you know for sure because you have direct experience than you are probably good to go, but you might want to check with an expert or have an expert witness there to back up your point. You don't want to look like a loser if it turns out that there is a way for a situation to be true without your knowledge. Do you want to be absolutely sure that there is no way for that situation to be true. You don't want to think that you are discrediting a witness only to be discredited yourself. For example, you wouldn't want to think that you are such a hot shot and you know everything about blind people and say, you say you were checking your email but you couldn't be on the computer because you are blind. Actually a blind person can be on the computer, so because you didn't check that with an expert witness first you are the one who now looks like a loser. That is my understanding anyways. I am not an attorney. My understanding might be incorrect or the way I communicated it to you might be confusing.

She didn’t use her personal knowledge as evidence, she used it to pressure Chutney into admitting she was lying about being in the shower, which results in her admitting to the crime, at which point she is arrested. Chutney will also have to go to court, but they will have her confession under oath to use against her. This hearing was just about getting Brooke off for the murder, and all they needed for that was the confession of the person who actually did it.

I purchased several of those LSAT study guides and spent at least 8 hours a day working through them. When I was finished with the set, I'd go through them again ... and again. I made studying for the LSAT my full time job. I scored in the top 10% and go into a top 5 public law school. I also paid a lot of money to a nationally recognized prep test school for the MCAT, yet only did marginally better than average. So I'm not a real big proponent of prep schools. (BTW: You are correct about law schools not caring about your undergrad degree. I got a BS in microbiology, one classmate had a nuclear engineering degree from Georgia Tech, another was a physician, another had a music degree, and another was also a fellow microbiology student.)

I had several teachers in junior high who stressed the Socratic method and I hated it because, even when I was competent in the subject, they were always so vague in their questions that all I could think was "I want so badly to give you the answer you want, I just don't know what answer you're looking for!". I'd throw out a few answers that, while technically correct, never seemed to be what they wanted to hear.

When Elle was pretending to be an attorney, I think the point of the scene was that she was making up stuff to confuse the stupid husband. It definitely wasn’t suppose to make sense, she was just using legal jargon to make him believe that she knew what she was talking about.

Objection! When he said he wanted to be a senator by the time he was 30, I don't think he meant that he wanted to be a senator before 30. he probably just meant that he wanted to be a senator at the earliest possibility (at 30), so he needed to start preparations early for that to happen.
@OriginalPiMan
@OriginalPiMan 4 жыл бұрын
Then he'd better hope he's turning 30 in the right year for it. After all, there are only senate elections every other year, and only in his home state in two of every six years (to give him the best odds of being elected).

Like laws, you usually should assume that writers mean what they write until that assumption stops making sense. My guess is that the exact wording is intentional as he's supposed to be less smart than he thinks he is, and either confused representatives with senators or forgot that 30 is the exact first age he can possibly be a senator. I suppose he could have also meant a state senator, IIRC this scene is in California where the minimum age for any office is just 18.

OBJECTION: The specific type of senate seat was not described. 1:36 I would argue that he could have been talking about State Senate. That usually doesn't have a minimum age requirement.

@@harrybetteridge7532 Nah not at all, there are a lot of programs that involve the cooperation between the two (for example medicine and other sciences students, where they are basically enrolled in both universities for a while and then choose). Generally LMU and TU have different focuses: like TU is a technical university so it focuses on sciences and in a more practical/experimental way (comparable to MIT); LMU offers also humanistic studies, which are the "main focus" as LMU is a traditional and very old university. The faculties of law, linguistics and theology are really really good. And also in scientific subjects I think that LMU offers a less practical, more theoretical approach: like if you want to study theoretical physics go to LMU, if you want to study experimental go to TU
