RE: THE THREAD!!!
Good morning everyone,
To their credits, they often are not prepared nor coached enough by their mentors. Lawyers here have to start their work in a three-year apprenticeship to an older barrister, but these masters often only see their apprentices as cheap labor, and do not devote much time to accompany them at the court. So, bad habits are taken...
Younger ones can’t seem to imagine to be wrong, or being refused what they ask. Too many don’t look up the laws applicable to the case, and imagine they only need to say that their « client has realized the gravity of their situation and started to change » to magically have a reduced fine. Or are upset by the slightest resistance to their arguments.ORIGINAL: Orm
That shouldn't be happening. In my humble opinion, that is. Are the layers not prepared for some resistance to what they say? [&:] [&:] [&:]ORIGINAL: Ambassador
Good evening, gentlemen, ladies.
I made a lawyer weep, this afternoon.
Again.![]()
Maybe we, the older generations, should prepare them better for life?
Or maybe I just got it wrong. [:D]

Yes. Although I was thinking that this needs to be worked on long before they begin working as apprentices. But what do I know. [:)] [:D]ORIGINAL: Ambassador

That is why I think that while they are still in law school that they should attend court sessions like yours or at least see the videos, then the class can have a discussion about the lawyer. That is, if they can keep from laughing!
Who knows, maybe a police officer can give them a personal invitation to attend a court hearing.[:D]

RE: THE THREAD!!!
Yeah, don’t get me started on the quality, or lack of, of the law graduates. In my time (and I’m not all that old), we used to attend court hearings on our free time, to see and hear how things were done, or took time in the school’s library to peruse books and law reviews, including on subjects we were not required to learn at that moment. Nowadays, they only do it if there’s an official university program which will reward them some credits for doing so.ORIGINAL: RangerJoe

By the way, I personally know, very well, a former law student who was personally invited to attend a court hearing for speeding, and who ended as judge twenty years later... Like the saying goes, the best game wardens are former poachers.[:D][:D][:D]

The guy depicted in Catch Me If You Can helped the FBI while still in prison, then went on to assist in bank security. An excellent book, he describes how he did it. While in Swedish prison he took classes in graphic arts where he knew more than the instructor. A couple of things that I remember is how to slow a legitimate check through the system if it is not scanned and cashed immediately.
Also to catch a criminal, you have to know how to think like one.[8D]

Good day all. Been biding my time resurrecting some of my old SPI: game of over forty years ago. Lately Destruction of Army Group Center which I just acquired last month. Then it was Kursk now Turning Point: The battle of Stalingrad. Nest Moscow Campaign. Hadn't played any one of those since 1998. Simple and still enjoyable. DAGC with a little research from my library I came up with a historical setup. Same with Moscow Campaign I did 30 years ago. Panzer and panzer grenadier divisions mostly for Moscow Campaign.
Hey Schani, good to 'see' ya around. How's it hangin'?
Takin' a trip down memory lane I see. SPI, there's a term I haven't heard in quite a while.

Doing well. Saw the oncologists today. Preparing for the offensive. A couple more exams then it looks like a trip down to the University of Minnesota for a pre-surgery once over and see if that is what is needed or just chemo and raditaion.
Love SPI's operational level games. The Quad games are also great, Island Wasr, North Africa, Westfront and the Blue & Grey II and Napoleon at War. Picked up Napoleon at War last year. Never played a Napoleonic battle before as I no next to nothing about that era other that the names of the battles. Should be interesting. Battle for Germany is also a nice, little, quick game at corps level.
