What does Jow Forums think of lawyers?

Is being a lawyer a meme? Will they get replaced by automation? Any lawyers here have their own firm?

Yes, yes, and probably not.

Darn. I'm in ChemE and was considering going to law school for patent law as it seemed like a more interesting career path.

Yes, not in our lifetime, and Definitely Not.

I'm a strong believer in automation replacing jobs but there are too many functions of lawyers as is. Contract lawyers will get replaced first. Trial lawyers will likely get replaced last and that'll be a looooong time from now if ever. We'd need to reach a pretty dystopian society to reach a point where we're ok putting people in prison without a trial involving humans.

Why is being a lawyer a meme?

I figured trial lawyers were exempt on principle; there's too many different things you'd have to do.

>Be me
>Police do drug raid on house 9 years ag>bail myself out
>Hire the most Jew lawyer I can find
>Cost 5k
>Day one my lawyer: in order to prosecute you must prove possession, intent, distribution. How do you know that one of OP friends didn't leave it there?
>Judge looks confused as fuck
>"Ahh could you show me that law"
>*Opens big lawbook and walk to bench*
>Judge: sorry but I'm going to have to dismiss the charges
God I have such a love hate relationship with jews

If you're someone who likes to read books all day, be a professor or a writer. If you like to argue with people, go into politics. If you like being on a stage, go into acting.

If you REALLLYYYYYY love the law, I guess being a lawyer is alright. Otherwise, it's a compromise you're making for money, which rarely turns out well.

I have seen some pretty cool lawyer bros who are hot shit and cut their chops in corporate law or something for like 10-20 years being miserable and then transitioning to do-gooder roles once they don't care about money anymore. Taking on pro bono cases just to fuck over the man because you know shit is corrupt is an actually non-meme and incredibly based lawyer role, but these jobs are VERY few and far between and you won't be able to just go off and do that unless you are independently wealthy already.

Jews are bro-tier

If you're in it for the money, don't be a lawyer. You're gonna have a bad time.

Personally, I have heard NOTHING but bad things about the current state of the field. If anything, avoiding becoming a lawyer has become the meme.

thank you for the heads up

Not a lawyer but most of my immediate family are lawyers. I don't know how to answer if it's a meme or not; it seems like it can be both a pretty meaningful and lucrative thing to do with your life, as long as you feel competent within an interesting or impactful enough field. Even just having the oblique exposure to practicing law, it seems like law itself it is an incredibly nuanced, arguable, and grey zone that requires cases to be made and facts to be laid out in particular ways so that arbiters can make an interpretation of both the evidence and the laws at hand. And interpretation is the key word. Nothing in law is as black and white as it might seem--- emotion and irrational appeals, like a twist of how you phrase something in court, or proposing different narratives or suggestions supported by the evidence, require deeply human work beyond the capabilities of automation.

Law in tandem with a STEM degree is probably a decent career move

the only thing I'm worried about is the cost of law school itself.
honestly feels like I'm getting ripped off
I got a full-ride through undergrad so I want to avoid paying for education as much as possible.

Yep. This desus. It’s a cost benefit analysis at the end of the day.

I had a goyim lawyer once. Never again.

Yep..not worth it. It's better to hire the most Jewish lawyer you can find. They know the laws

Every single loophole that can get you out... Jewish lawyers know

Yes, some but not most, Yes (i have a small firm of my own, but i'm basically a solo practitioner and it's definitely not a big firm)

checked
how much do you gross per year? What's your specialty?

Law is a meme because of the saturation, not automation. If you get in a T14 and enjoy working 80 hours a week in a high stress environment, it is worth it.

Only if you have the coin. They will never hesitate to stab you in the back otherwise. That's why you always have them on payroll and don't fuck them over.

im currently looking to immigrate into the United States and have literal kike lawyers on my case. bernstein, rothschild & noseberg tier these christkillers are gonna pull no punches and will move mountains to get me into the US God bless these kikes lmao

Do not pay sticker for any law school that is not Harvard, Stanford, or Yale

Bump for interest

Are you Central American?

Lawfaggot here. It is alright. The pay is great. But you're basically paid to deal with bureaucrats, and that part is gay as fuck.

What do you specialize in?
How’s the work-life balance?

Civil litigation and intellectual property at a small firm.

When our case load is heavy or going to trial, hours are long and working through weekends is common. I'm lucky in that I get to telecommute 90% of the time unless I'm meeting with a client or at court, but I'm also effectively on call, so my hours are all over the place.

Yes, no, no but I work for a small firm.

Automation will streamline paralegal work and execution of contracts. But someone will still need to write the contracts and the reason lawyers are needed for contract work is due to ambiguities which can and will arise regardless of automation or smart contracts. Further, A lot of the law isn’t as black and white as people think so Litigation will likely never be automated. Some shit just doesn’t lend itself to automation and their will always be an emotional aspect of the law regardless of how much people want to pretend it doesn’t.
