“Merchant idea: magic eight ball lawyer edition. Would you all buy it?” Me: it depends
He should actually do this, and have them all say "it depends" but like in different ways, "technically it could go either way", "results could vary based on a number of factors", etc.
You know not just lawyers say "it depends" all the time. :P
Yeah, it depends on the price. Otherwise, yeah I'm getting that.

Having been a court clerk for 20 years I appreciated your comments about treating them well. Luckily in my case the judge listened to me more than the lawyers.
Court Clerks seem to be as mighty as Janitors. Be nice to them because while you think they have a lowly job they hold imense power to screw you over (Also its overall good to be nice)
That comment is not restricted to court clerks. Treat the "little" people well. They are the ones that make stuff happen or worse not happen at all.

*PLOT TWIST!* LegalEagle is actually 25 years old and law school made him look older. The perk to this is that he looks really cool and people will be more likely to agree with him because he looks trustworthy. The downside to this is that he's in crippling debt and he chose to go to law school,

“Law School doesn’t teach you how to be a lawyer”
Me, a freshly graduated new working middle school teacher: *solemnly nodding in solidarity*
Elementary school teacher agreeing. Though not new anymore, I remember.
This sounds so much like engineering. Engineering school doesn't teach you how to be an engineer, you kinda learn that on the job. I haven't used 90% of what I learned at university, but I've REALLY drilled into that other 10%. That said, the vast majority of what I've learned and actually use could totally be on the job training. Huzzah!
I think that is true for most jobs really
In my experience school in general doesn't teach you how to do anything.
4 years English teacher here.
Your comment speaks to my wounded soul. My teaching practicum days still haunt me.
"Discussing the readings without having read the readings" is what I did in theatre studies, to such an extend that one of my professors actually thought I was one of the most hard working students in his class.
In reality I spent every seminar with half an hour of avoiding eye contact while other students answered questions, so I could get a grasp of what the seminar was even about. After that, I started asking very specific questions to fill in the blanks, which made it seem like I had read the whole text and was being critical about it xD
You should become a CEO, with those skills!
@@Pekkhum Hm, doubt xD I don't really see myself as a leader. I'm becoming a teacher though.
@@Roozyj as a teacher you'll need to read the text, but as a CEO you can say anything as long as it sounds good to your audience. 🙃
Teaching is wonderful though. Here hoping you get your chance.
@@Pekkhum Haha, that's true xD
Thanks :) There's a big need for German language teachers over here, so I'll probably have a lot of job security. It's a nice change of pace after 2 art studies :P
I knew a guy in college who never cited anything in his papers and professors kept failing him and he was perpetually super mad about it which still blows my mind 10yrs later
I can see how this would happen if their ego was big enough that they didn't see the importance
"Everyone hates lawyers until you need one."
Most people still hate them then, they just need them and feel that much angrier about it.
You're the second person who said this, and it begins to scare me a little :o
...but not enough to give up the magic ball :D
I think for a lot of people. It just has to do with the feeling of having to pay large amounts of money for something that seems to be made unnecessarily complicated with no guarantee that what you're doing will actually work but you're still expected to pay.
Same thing with cops

Start of school as an engineer: "If a doctor screws up, one person dies. If an engineer screws up, hundreds of people die." *start montage of buildings & bridges collapsing.*
Well damn
I can verify this. When I studied chemical engineering, one of my profs spent a whole class detailing the aftermath and costs of a plant explosion (his wife worked for OSHA). His point at the end of the class: “Don’t rely on your memory! Look it up! Your ego is not worth someone else’s life!” *pounds table*

Be nice to your clerks, your receptionists, your janitors, your maintenance workers and your cleaners. People in those sorts of roles can make your lives easier, or they can make your lives hell.

Law school teaches the most valuable skill a lawyer can have: how to pretend to do 34 hours of work in a single day.
You remind me of the joke about the young lawyer who dropped dead and told St Peter "How can I be dead? I'm still so young."

I love when Legal Eagle and Dr. Mike reference each other in their videos. It makes me happy.
What I remember from my first days of med school is firstly being told a third of us will marry the person to our right (a totally wrong - I married the girl on my left and the bloke on my right is one of my best friends). We were also told the average doctor saves 13 lives in their career - and that's not counting the ones you bump off!

@@lurac5710 exactly, that’s the joke
OBJECTION! Not understanding the Gru meme at 10:14.
The 4th panel is Gru looking back at the 3rd step in confusion because the 3rd step doesn’t make sense. He’s like, who put that there? Since the case is dismissed he can’t file sanctions, so he’s confused at who put that step there. (In the film the girls put in their own panel when he’s explaining his moon stealing plan).
The fact that someone owes more now than they did when they graduated, even after paying for years, is an absolute disgrace and should be shoved in the face of lawmakers.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY COINS I'VE TOSSED TO MY LAWYER?!

Can you give me the case number? As the court reporter, I'll just read back through your testimony and give you the exact figure lol....I'm not trying to diss you my friend. Loved your comment. It's just that I spend a huge amount of time writing down testimony where people rant about exactly how much money they've paid in attorney's fees. Down to the penny, which really twists the court reporter's brain after awhile..... 🤯
Toss a coin to your Witcher instead. You get much more.. practical results that way.
I suspect the doctor thing is more like "here's your coat, here's your residency, now just so you know ... every single one of you is probably gonna kill somebody"
When I worked in HRIS for a hospital, every year we would have a new set of residents around July and every year VP of HR would remind us to try not to get sick till October or so...
You never collapse a lung TWICE.
Its a little of both, we definitely got the you're all brilliant heres a white coat on first day of med school, but day 2 was haha enjoy the hell that is memorizing everything ever for expensive exams. But yeah we were all told that we might kill someone someday... Good luck. Its not likely to happen the first month or two because you get watched very closely, around September/October is when you have less careful supervision
My first day of med school one of the professors said: "just remember, no matter what you do, every single one of your patients is going to die eventually."
So yeah, that was fun.
Personally, I'd like to get a doctor OR a lawyer who has gone beyond the need to practice all the time and is finally ready! :)

Me, a lawyer: it’s important to tell me the truth because I need to be adequately prepared for your bond hearing.
Defense client: *lies to me about a single crucial detail which entire bond argument encompasses*
Also defense client when bond is denied: *pikachu face*
"Oh, well...I mean, technically yes, the prosecutor is right, but I really don't want that to be the case. You're the lawyer, just object a lot - I want to get out of jail."
From the movie Legal Eagles: "An attorney has to know the truth. Whether he attacks it or defends it, the truth is the touchstone of his trade. That`s tricky, because clients often lie..."
The magic 8 ball should also include synonyms of "it depends" like: maybe; yes, but possibly no; no, but possibly yes; possibly; and "who knows?".
"Ask a Lawyer"
"As your legal representative, I advise you to shut the hell up."
"This is not legal advice."
Yes, but only under very specific circumstances. Otherwise, no.

What I've learned from watching this video: Law school seems to be filled with professors who know a lot about law...and next to nothing about pedagogy
100% agree
the professors typically practiced law for 1-2 years before making a beeline for academia.
Coming from a German university background: that is true for all university professors. Teaching if viewed as a biproduct.
How is it okay for THE supreme court to have this rule in which cameras are prohibited thus making hearings less open, less trustworthy? I just can’t comprehend that.
Yes! Let us see all the corrupt backhand dealings they're involved in.
Having worked in law offices I can verify that the one person you do NOT want pissed off at you is the court clerk.
On the meme about med school vs law school: 1) Many med schools do give you a white lab coat on your first day & have a whole ceremony about it that is somewhat congratulatory.
2) My wife, when a med student said that if you ask a normal grad student to memorize the phone book he says "why?" but if you ask a med student to memorize the phone book he says "by when?" so there's that.

Yeah, but you have to learn to sue them first, then in court they could argue that it obviously worked as you are practicing law.
@@achftw hire someone who went to a different law school than yours then you sue theirs
The benefit of living in a country with almost free education is that when you finish school you have almost no debt and the debt you have has a very low interest, so its not a priority to pay. Most people end up with about $30k in debt, not related to study cost, but living and partying.
Sounds like trying to sue city hall probably not going to work out.
I just don’t get why American law school is set up the way it is. Aussie law school will at least teach you enough to get you started. That includes how to research, how to write, how to form arguments, how to cite cases properly, etc. Also, we have assignments as well as exams, and our lectures are recorded so we can watch or rewatch at our convenience. No need to rely on a fellow student and hope they take decent notes. It’s just a much better system.
My dad said the big point his first day of medical school was "Half of what we will teach you is wrong, only if we knew which half"
for my masters of engineering it was "Imposter syndrome is very real, but we won't fully say if yours is valid or not"

The med student immediately starts to complain and argue about the senselessness of the exercise. The law student asks: What's the deadline?
I shed a tear for anyone who was going to school for anything during these times.
Yeah, language students who had their years abroad cancelled... :-(
I graduated last May with a bachelors in computer science, and quarantine started during spring break so we came back as remote courses. Found out none of my computer science doctorate professors could figure out how to upload lecture videos to literally anywhere on the internet.
We don't use software, we only just write it.
12:41 Loved that Dr. Mike reference 😁.
"Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" is now my favorite internet quote
My sister-in-law is in her final year, and we were all sitting down with beers the other night when someone threw a hypothetical law question her way. Man, I was so happy when she said, "It depends..." I was like, Oh girl you're a real lawyer now! I would 100% get her a LegalEagle "It Depends" magic 8-ball as a graduation present.
bruh i audibly gasped when he sneezed and change into something that _isn't_ a suit and/or blazer. first time ive seen his forearms
You need to go back to early COVID posts. He was sitting at the beach, being filmed by his friend. IRC, he was wearing a polo and shorts.
Same, it was odd
It's crazy how many similarities there seem to be between law school and English literature grad school 😂
I will be asking my English teacher about this and my brother who is trying to get into law school.
From my experience, people mostly hate Lawyers because they are really expensive and they sometimes defend people who do bad things.
I’ve got a couple of defense lawyer friends and I ask them why and they’ll point out cases of people who were innocent and they’re like maybe if they had a better lawyer they would have never been convicted…fair enough
The Toss A Coin bit was just a thirst trap, wasn't it? Effect achieved, sir. Effect achieved.
Some cross-occupational humor for when you're with your chemist friends, but you can't have battery without a salt.
😅😅😅
Dont throw sodium chloride at people, that counts as a salt. kek
Someone call Linus. That was the smoothest sponsor transition I've ever seen.
I don't know what Doctor Mike said, but having been to medical school I can confirm that at least in Canada the "You're all brilliant to even have gotten hear and you're all going to change the world" is mostly accurate.
OMG, as a former paralegal with a sister who was the head clerk of the county & district courts, I can tell you that being mean to the clerk can cause sooooo many problems! It's much easier to kiss their asses and get what you need. 1 minute of kindness reaps loads of rewards.
true, clerks/staff can really stand in the way of getting things done smoothly.
Here in my country people have to work for a year in a legal aid clinic and most law students work as paralegals during law school, to avoid the " I don't know sh*t about f*ck phenomenon". As a physician with five years of clinical experience *before* graduation, I agree with this approach.
8:30 said every job about every school from all professions
I feel like if the tips to doing well in law school are “don’t do everything your professors assign you,” then maybe the professors should be rethinking how much work they actually hand out. Like you wouldn’t need the shortcut if you never had to go on the highway in the first place.
There's a part of me that hopes that Mack Weldon hasn't ever actually been a sponsor, and he's just a REALLY big fan of theirs.
Why is that? Are they kind of a sham?
@@SCRandall It's just a joke based on how enthusiastic LegalEagle is when talking about them.
The clerk is the grease that makes the wheels turn? Reminds me of that old saying "beware of the toes you step on today, they might belong to the person who's arse needs kissed tomorrow"
"It depends" has a lot wider application than most people are comfortable with, not just in law.
10:55 Lawyers are excellent at DnD... Wait, you were talking real stuff ?!
I covered a first-degree murder trial once where it was clear the defendant committed the crime. The defense knew they had no defense so the best they could do was argue that it was second-degree murder and not first-degree. In opening arguments, the defense attorney literally said something to the effect of, "Find my client guilty, but don't find him guilty of first-degree murder." I actually had to listen to my audio recording multiple times to make sure I heard that correctly.
I really appreciate the second meme lmao. I’m in an election law class right now and we recently were assigned Buckley v Valeo. The ENTIRE majority opinion, all 50 pages of it. And yes this is during an entirely virtual 2L year...
F
I'm glad someone is looking at it, it 'only' changed the course of the US politics completely and thus the US and probably the world.
Teacher: the assignment was due 2 hours ago.
Him: 2 hours from now
My orientation for law school started with them telling us to look to the person on our left, and look to the person on our right. They then informed us that one of the three of us would not graduate. Great way to introduce new students. 😱
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 toss a coin to your lawyer🎶 got me dying over here.
"it depends" is also the defacto response from web developers, programmers, and IT people.
I also hear, "It might just be dumb enough to work" a lot.
Lawyer turned comedian Al Libel used the line: "a wise man once said it's better to let 100 guilty men go free than to convict one innocent man, my client is guilty, let him go."
