Law School Students Often Say They Want to Help People

I recently started taking a survey as I travel what is left of our nation from the over letigiousness terrorist attacks from lawyers; I ask students in coffee shops studying law why they want to be a lawyer. They have to reasons; One, to make money and two, to help people. Yes it is true; law School students often say they want to help people.

When I discuss this with these young folks they say, I want to help people. If someone slips on a banana peal outside of business and breaks their leg, I can collect for them? What? I say? No matter if the company is a third generation steak house with all you can eat ribs and Porterhouse steaks? No bananas have been sold there in over 45 years? And that the life savings of the couple who owns the establishment has two kids in college and one who needs soccer shoes and all that need health coverage which is also thru the roof for the same reason? Tort Law.

We need to address this problem and I like some of Ceasars ideas the best, we need this in place now, not later, if this were to be proposed in Congress today? Fat chance since the Congress is mostly made up of lawyers and they get big bucks from the trial lawyer lobbyists. But if it were to be voted on you would see the biggest onslaught of high dollar lawsuits to be filed ahead of such enactment of law to get it while it is still available. Yep, and this is our idea of reality? Get it while you can, sue every company into bankruptcy? No wonder people are moving jobs to India, China, etc. I would too. To get away from the tort law issues, much safer there. We are our own worst enemy, because we refuse to live in reality, instead choosing to live in front of the curtain of OZ, in a promised utopia that is non-existent and not yet earned.

If we want our country back and make this the model for the world, then shouldn't we fix these issues of tort law and establish a livable and acceptable tort reform policy that is based on reality and fairness. You know that justice thing we as Americans are always talking about? The sooner we have tort reform the faster we can get back to our promise to the people. We need not destroy all we are and all we have built based on the pie in the sky promise of the regulation of morality by those who abuse, extort and hijack the law for their own personal gain at the expense of ourselves and our ancestors. Too harsh of comments? I think not. I certainly would like to hear from others on this issue. Think about it.

How To Perfect Your Law School Essay
A dear friend of mine decided to go to law school at fifty years of age. This is something that she had always wanted to do but did not have the time or finances for until she was fifty. The first year of school she worked full time as a social worker in the same agency with me along with taking three classes. I could not believe that she was able to complete the tasks that she needed to do for our high stress jobs in addition to studying and reading for her classes. She did say that the one thing she was not prepared for was the law school essay. She has always had an easy time taking test, but the law school essay is a completely new concept for her.
