Re: [DL] lawyer question [STEVE LONG?]
As a Recent Law School Grad Here is my two cents:
Academia : Law represents knowledge of actual laws and legal precidents
Prof: Lawyer represent knowledge about how to make a living off of
practicing the law.
Bluff, Overawe, and Ridicule would be important skills for any lawyer or
(fake) lawyer.
In the courtroom, I would have them use academia: law to impress a jury but
use their smarts dice to do it.
Law wasn't as regulated back then. Your fake lawyer, if he can actually
get people off is as much a lawyer as a harvard educated one. Back East the
profession is a little more regulated.
