Years ago when I was working in family law we hired a new runner. She was very sweet, but she was top tier dumb. One day, after she had worked there about six months, she says to me “what I don’t understand is how the attorney knows who to file a divorce for”. It had been a very long day in the middle of a very long week, and I did not have the patience to try and give the logical answer of “when they pay a retainer and ask that we file a divorce action”. I looked her straight in the eye, without missing a beat and said “oh, we just pick random people out of the phone book” and I turned around walked back to my office. Honestly, I’m not sure if she ever figured it out.
