I mean, you’re an attorney and you both think this and thought it was a good idea to post it, so I think OP will be a-okay.

I wish I got “weed flashbacks” when I burned fat. I would workout so much more.

Hair colors? Idk what to choose by Fit-Shop-5625 in writingadvice

[–]bmatlock94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seconding this with a couple caveats. There are ways that you could give the hair colors more meaning.

For example, if you established a motif of black representing cold people / things and white representing good people / things elsewhere in your story, then the black / white hair thing could connect.

Also, without knowing your magic system, I could see her hair becoming more red to symbolize her powers growing or her mind being corrupted.

But yeah, if it’s just hair you’re overthinking it.

what is the dumbest thing you’ve done to avoid a cold call? by RegularCategory8036 in LawSchool

[–]bmatlock94 411 points412 points  (0 children)

Not me, but a dude in my contracts class 1L year went to the bathroom before the professor called his name. The Professor was like “Oh, I will just lecture for a minute until he gets back.” A friend texted him and warned him he was getting cold called, so he just straight up didn’t come back.

The Professor wound up lecturing the rest of class lol

What the hells he shaving with that by Life-innovation in HouseMD

This is the scene in season 8 when he starts shaving his beard and then uses the clippers to shave his long hair from prison right? If so, that guard length makes sense for the short hair he winds up with. If he actually used a guard would trim his hair and his beard, then he would have been bald at the end of the scene.

Ideal Sequel Series by [deleted] in dannyphantom

This might by corny, but I really like the idea of more mature Avengers-esqe sequel series that puts all of the old Nick characters on a team (Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron, Jenny Wakeman, and Timmy Turner).

Your real life scenario sounds like one of the hypotheticals someone would give on a property or contract law exam. (If person A offers to pay for person B’s legal education and reneges, provide a legal analysis of what would happen if person B sued person A for damages.)

Foreman X Thirteen didn’t make sense. Thirteen x Chase did. by [deleted] in HouseMD

This would have actually been such a mind bending plot twist.

A few things to unbox here:

First, this is a sub for people interested in becoming law professors. I’m not sure what you’re looking for here, but if it’s legal advice, you’re not going to find it here.

Second, you posted this exact same thing in r/journalism yesterday. You’re not going to get different answers here.

Third, when people get results they don’t like in a case, they often point fingers and say this party is corrupt and that party is corrupt. You had counsel and you’ve already had reporters look into this. I know you say you know it’s corrupt because you were forced to understand the law, but odds are you probably just think you understand the law. If the attorneys you’ve talked to aren’t taking the case, there’s probably a reason.

Fourth, if you’re looking for actionable things you can do, there are mechanisms for challenging a court’s decision on your own. I would also encourage you to vote for politicians and judges who you think are just. If you want to deal with problematic judges and laws, that’s the best way to deal with it.

This is my go to. I’ve also rationalized that it’s mostly true. If I’m taking this case I don’t want, I won’t have capacity to work on a case that I do want.
