Things have been good Hamilcar. So glad to see you again.

Hi Hamilcar, must be seven years or more ..........

Okay so you are still definitely on the hook for buying me a pint.
Hami, welcome back. :cheers:
Good to see you again Hamilcar.
So glad to see you back :hug:
Good to have you back Hamilcar!
A lot of time has passed. Last time you were around I asked you for some advice about how to explain an expanding universe to my son in elementary school. Now he is studying engineering in university.

As I understand it, Dorsey was the original poster but turned into the act; AR claims the current "persona" is closer to him IRL.

According to job title and remuneration, yes. I didn't seek admission to the bar, but so what? I'd have been doing the same job for the same pay if I had, and I'd still be in Pennsylvania with a (mostly) useless law license.

That is interesting. In Canada a person cannot hold the title of being a lawyer unless they are called to the Bar.

Can't wait for the second season.
to be fair to ide, the legal market really can be tricky. even in the land of flax seed and honey, a friend with very high credentials has gotten no-offered at every turn. lots of classmates don't have offers, and graduation is right down the corner.

Anyway, I suppose Beeb has a lame but valid semantic point. Surely, no one will ever wonder if he's a lawyer.
Oh and FYI: I've mentioned it before but during the last year and a half, I was doing higher-level work than "is it highlighted green"? Still not very glamorous (nor hard, generally), but I was doing exclusively privilege work and preparing privilege logs, which at least involved some actual legal skills as well as incorporated litigation support skills. (This is opposed to the sole requirement for doing first level doc review, namely the ability to differentiate between the colors red and green.) It was still scut work, but not hardcore retard work.

Scut work is routine, assembly line work. Full retard work is that which can be performed using 3 or 4 synapses.

He came back a couple weeks ago to post in the NFL thread, but that's been it.
He had seemed more miserable than usual due to some long-term unemployment, but no one can say for sure what drove him to leave. We were actually kind of worried - we had someone who had his number give him a call just to make sure he was still okay.

Yep. It wasn't in the least sense hard, but I had to think about what I was doing. Most doc review is so easy that it doesn't require paying strict attention, even to do it well.
Yep.
CdM's absence is a very sad one. I am sure we all hope he comes back soon.
Well he did emo up every thread the last year+.
Does anyone know his phone number? We should do a wellness check on him.

In English Canadian provinces there is no regulatory difference between barristers and solicitors - both must pass the bar to be entitled to use the title of "lawyer".
There are also paralegals and law clerks who may do some types of legal work but they can't use the title of lawyer.

Really? I know that the UK has a separate more difficult process for becoming a barrister. But in the US once a lawyer is called to the bar they can be either a barrister or a solicitor. There may be some outlier States but iirc most States require that a lawyer be called to the bar before practicing as either a barrister or solicitor. I don't think Americans actually use those terms very often and so that might be the source of your confusion.
