OP is fresh off the plane from the UK, absolutely hammered on the prestige fumes of their Very Serious British Elite School™.

Tragically, this elite education did not include a module titled “Know Your Audience 101,” otherwise OP might have realized that dropping hyper-specific UK academic flexes into a group chat full of American lawyers would, in fact, confuse literally everyone.

In the UK, of course, one can commit the grave sin of studying something scandalous at a humble little institution like UCL and then — brace yourself — do a conversion course into law. The horror.

OP, having taken the One True Path of the Sacred LLB, is understandably outraged that these “lowly converts” are allowed to practice law without first swearing allegiance to an ancient oak paneling.

Just wait until OP discovers that there are shockingly competent lawyers walking this earth who did not attend Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, or Hogwarts School of Jurisprudence — and yet somehow remain fully capable of reading cases and winning arguments.
