Wilky and the other lawyers....Malcolm Gladwell Georgetown Massacre Part 1

When I got to law school, it occurred to me that I would be spending an inordinate amount of time with lawyers for the rest of my life.  And that had not dawned on me before arriving to law school.  And I determined that I may have made a mistake in taking steps to purposefully spend more time with lawyers.

I personally try and avoid listening to the law or other lawyers in general in my free time.  Listening to the law or listening to lawyers sounds a lot like work.  And I often find myself mulling over the counterpoints to the lawyer who is talking.

It usually does, yeah.

Speaking of bags of cash, this article (2014) tells how it used to be, pre-NIL, etc.

I wrote some t&c's before.

I have had to analyze a bunch of t&c's.  

I once got uninvited to an interview, because I complained about the t&c's to a legal interview post-COVID-19.  (Those were crazy t&c's.  If you had COVID-19, whether you knew it or not, and attended the in-person interview, and someone came down with COVID-19, you were agreeing to accept liability not only to the person, who got sick, but also to the firm.  Ridiculous!)

Mattress t&c's have never come up.  But if you want to have a wretched convo about t&c's, we can?

For what it's worth, Malcolm Gladwell is a FANASTIC author and podcaster.  Not a lawyer my any means, and for the most part is incredibly nuanced and tends to take a moderate approach to everything.  I would highly suggest consuming any of his content as much as possible

All his books are great, and I have listened to most of his podcasts (Revisionist History is the name of the podcast) and enjoyed and learned something every time.
