we need a purge of law schools.
State court judge need to lose a few elections to purify their minds.
Merit retention is a joke.
A few years after my dad died my mother started two new projects: she went to art school (water color and etching) and went to law school.
As a girl her grammar school teacher told her that her drawing looked like she drew with her feet. She started art school at 55 years old. She was very bright, a whole lot more than yours truly. I send her pictures all over our family and friends.
She went to law school four nights a week (working five days a week). She took the California Bar exam and passed it the first time. It took Richard Nixon THREE tries.
She started practicing family law when she was 60 and worked until she was 80. She worked for herself and the last few years she worked from home.
I did her billing for her because she was such a pushover that she would NOT dun anyone for the money they OWED her. She was a GOOD lawyer, painfully honest and folks trusted her for that and the fact that she became a lawyer in her older ages...very different from the norm.
She passed away last year at 94.
Uh...
Did they elect THEMSELVES?
