2017-04-23 at 6:30 AM UTCAn absence of jedi lawyers has been a critical flaw for many a business. If there's one tip I would recommend, from a human capital perspective, it's more jedis.

jedis know how to survive and how to make money.
Plus their shape shifting powers can definitely be a big plus. Never know when you might need a liserdjediThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny You could say the same for literally anything that qualifies as a profession. I mean I agree that profit modeling all of human activity is demeaning but insofar as we can say anyone's occupation has value, it seems like justice, if indeed that's what lawyers dispense, qualifies.
I don't specifically mean being able to sell a skill; I'm talking in a more general sense - a justice system that has it's efficacy based on legal representation, which in turn is based on how much currency one can expend is not a justice system at all. It's a pyramid scheme with no external claim to legitimacy.
If the entire structure is immoral (or ignoble), then anyone who knowingly chooses to participate in it or benefit from it is ignoble by extension. -

2017-05-10 at 1:02 AM UTCMy sister is a lawyer and from her experience, I would say yes and no. While their academic accomplishments are recognized as 'noble', they occupy a broader range of stations in life than many people realize. A lot of this depends on connections and pedigree. A University of Chicago or Harvard law grad is almost certainly going to be catered to be employers more than one from HOFSTRA or SIU. There are more helpful distinctions with the former that include extracurriculars (i.e. Obama's work as head of the Harvard Law Review) and these can get a foot in the door when they're suitable for a position the grad is seeking. Field experience also plays a huge role, not just how long but of what quality and with whom. This is why so many law students compete for unpaid internships, getting passed around from firm to firm for a free fuck. So, within their profession, most of them experience pressure and frustration at the hands of people who paid their dues already, and on the outside, they're perceived as belonging to a higher social order.

2017-07-02 at 6:10 PM UTCWhat a wonderful question, Lanny.
From the woodwork, when asked straight-forward;Is being a lawyer a "noble profession"?
I would have to say that it depends a lot upon the background of the lawyer. -

It's a GOOD thing that laws are complex. What, do you want it to be like Hammurabi's code? Killing = death. Stealing = death. Adultery = locked up and 50 shekel fine.
It's good that the laws are complicated and it's good that we live in a country where you can fight for that. Better than China, where you can hire a lawyer, but 95% of people get charged as guilty so it doesn't really matter.
What exactly do you think is the solution here. And don't say gas the jedis. -
