      I haven't worked in corporate America in years. But I remember the last time. I couldn't believe my ears. The abject sexism. I'm a white male and it made me so damn angry. I told them, this isn't the damn strip club guys, Jesus. Is it any wonder so many women feel disaffected. I blame men. Point blank. Specifically white men. You want to put yourself out there guys have a some respect. And for Christ's sake, you have to look like someone a woman would want to be with. It's really not that complicated. I made a decision in the early 90s to start training in the gym because I was really ramping up my dating scene. Well gee whiz, imagine that. Women like a hard body to snuggle up to. And some honesty and humor to go with it. Who would have thought right? These men today...I just smh. I heard a 29 yo recently talk about how he would rather play video games than date. Wow...just f'ing wow.

    Julia Roberts was literally absolutely perfect for this role. I honestly felt like she was really Erin and I truly believe that in doing this movie, that she was truly angry about PG&E’s negligence and what happened to those innocent people in Hinkley.

      She was definitely not perfect for this role. And the main issue here is that despite in the film showing how she was very attractive and used that to her advantage, which is believable cause Julia Roberts was an attractive woman when this film was shot. But now please take a minute of your time and go loop up the real Erin Brockovich. She is most definitely NOT attractive and can't use that an asset, which automatically makes this whole thing impossible, given on that note she shouldn't even been able to use that charm to get into that place where they held paperwork about water testing. This whole film would have had no sense if the actress looked like real life Erin. Which is what it should have if the film was to be based on reality. Not just hire an actress like Julia Roberts and have her use charm to progress.

    Omg, Emily D. Baker has talked a lot about the ongoing problems with appearance conceptions in the legal field. She also brought it up recently in a collab live stream with NatalieLawyerChick and NatetheLawyer. Nate confirmed the b.s. does not affect men the way it affects women. The worst he's had to deal with is hair/race issues (which are still bad) - wearing an "appropriate" tie and a few comments on his hair. Natalie said exactly what you were alluding to. Both she and Emily (especially since Emily was a DA) have dealt with the ridiculous wardrobe comments, but Natalie also had to deal with the hair/race issues on top of that. She had a fellow African American attorney (much older) pull her aside once, telling her that her natural dreadlocks were inappropriate for court. She then later had a lawyer friend (also African American), who wore her hair straightened, tell her that a white female judge pulled /her/ aside and told her that her straight hair was, "too colloquial." Like, WTH? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's just insane. As long as you look professionally presentable, it shouldn't be an issue. The sexism and racism in any field needs to stop. Especially, in fields that require lots of education and training. You went to school for most of your young life and worked your ass off to get into that field, and your work should speak for itself. So stupid.

    I quit school in the 9th grade, well actually in about the 5th grade is when i tuned out but still kept showing up. Not too many years ago a billion dollar corporation did some property damage to me. I negotiated a settlement with them over a 6 month period without hiring a lawyer or going to court. Their lawyers tried every trick to wiggle out of paying up by making me offers that were laughable and unethical and also making false accusations that they knew were phony, anything to try to shake my confidence in my position. I told them the amount i wanted and they agreed to it and wired it to my bank account. I think i could have gotten a lot more but i wasnt sure how hard i could push before they slammed the door shut and stopped talking with me. If they had forced me to go to court and hire a lawyer, that would have cost me a lot of money and time and physical energy, so maybe i could have gotten more on my own or maybe not, but it was a chunk of money that i really needed considering having chronic health troubles and no good source of money coming in.

    This was the first legal film I ever watched. I remember in the wardrobe discussion scene (7:30) just thinking; Oh! These other women are jealous of Erin cuz she’s “hot. But, the way Leeja explains it and to really contemplate how for decades women had to adapt to the patriarchal and (most of the times) misogynist wardrobe “etiquette” just to keep a “professional facede” is something that all men should really reflect on, especially those who keep complaining about women “asking too much equality”. Its true, we all need to be comfortable with ourselves in order to perform well in our jobs and that SHOULD include women and we men just have to learn to deal with it.

The other was Working Girl, which I suppose deals with contract law a little, but never in a courtroom, that I recall. So... 🤷‍♀

      Wrong, he's a covert narcissist. The gleeful smiles, joking and 'duping delight' and then somber face on witness stand is the biggest indication. It's a lot of arrogance he's displaying. He's not that good of an actor to have people believe him. I think it's mostly people who hate women, men who weren't fans of me too and women who often don't like other women anyway. Observing his supporters is like that saying, show me who your friends are..

    You look beautiful. Probably the edgiest lawyer I've ever seen. Don't know if you've seen but there was a video uploaded recently about Hinkley and Erin and she actually returns and speaks to the lady that Donna Jensen was based on. Apparently the company did not pay out most of the money and she not only has to work multiple jobs still to this day but also had to move. She eventually moved away from the plume only to find out that it has grown and she once again lost the house she ended up buying. So many years later and not only did they still not get justice but the town is a ghost town now. Also, regarding the town hall scene, most of the people there were people from Hinkley who were actually in the lawsuit, including the cowboy. Leaving you a link to the video. ruclips.net/video/OhDCTBqlkVM/видео.html

    I've been binging your videos all day and I've been loving your legal knowledge and personality! also, it's refreshing to see a professional interested in astrology as you are and so, I just wanted to make sure if you ever read this, that hopefully you know cusps do not exist. You can check someone's natal chart (if their bday is on the last or first day of a sign and you're unsure) to see the exact degree of which actual sign their sun falls in. however, (if you wanted to know) your planet can be on the "cusp" between two houses, meaning if your planet is on the edge of one house and another, the planet can influence both houses if it is within a certain (debated) range of 3 degrees!
    I swear I have taken legal knowledge from all your videos and am not just hung up on the astrology ahhh ahah.

    I just found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying your content. Would you consider reacting to the movie (or book) Sleepers? It's a dark revenge story about 4 kids who went to juvy and experienced severe abuse in the 60s and then, 20 odd years later, two of those now grown kids happens upon a guard from their incarceration days and kills him in the middle of a restaurant. One of the other kids happens to be an up and coming DA at the time and orchestrates it so he's prosecuting the case and conspires for it to not only fail in convicting his friends, but expose the prison. Great cast including Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt and Minnie Driver. Pitt and Hoffman have some great court room scenes. Purportedly a true story as written by Lorenzo Carcaterra (sp?)

    1:48 There were clearly witnesses. I guess she just didn't attempt to make them testify.
    Also, is this a true thing that happened to her, or this was added to the movie for shock effect and making sure the audience immediately sympathizes with her?

    Sounds like law is a lot like sales and it’s awful!! Especially in a sales role that is in an industry that deals with mostly men. I was in the top 5% of my entire company (with Thousands of sales reps) and the amount of dirty looks I got from guys at my work was insane. I have heard it all...I make sales because I’m a women and I must flirt with my customers, I don’t know anything about my product, I’m not able to understand what the guys are saying when they use technical speak. I just ignored them and then when they had a major problem with something and I would save their a$$e$ from making a big mistake that would cost a lot of money to fix. I would say anything or do anything I would come in and give them the information either in person or email and not saying anything else. Usually after that, they stopped the dirty looks.
    Thankfully, I played on the boys golf team in HS because there wasn’t a girls team and I was the number one player my freshman year. And a ton of guys who play can’t believe that a 16 year old girl could be good enough at the game to play from the men’s tees let, let only play on the team all together. They would usually shut up after seeing 4 or 5 shots. I have learned that it’s far more satisfying to let my skill speak for itself and not say anything at all. Just let them make a complete fool of themselves and not say word myself.

    I always think of the old English word "demure" when I hear this, it refers to a woman cause, ya know, old days, being reserved and shy and modest. Idk if the two words are related at all, Idk. They don't seem like the same thing. The sentence that is used most is something like "the woman would look demure, gazing down through her eyelashes" or something like that. I've also heard it used as an verb, though it's not normally defined that way, like "The woman would demure" as in, back off from some kind of behavior that seemed unfeminine, or give in. Kinda seems like the opposite of a demurrer. I found this definition: demurrer
    [dəˈmərər]
    NOUN
    law
    dated
    an objection that an opponent's point is irrelevant or invalid, while granting the factual basis of the point.
    The only point that stood out to me was "while granting the factual basis of the point" as in conceding to something... probably a stretch.
    Btw when I pressed the little icon to say the word, it sounded just like it's said in the movie.
