  1. This is a UK take but I think it applies to North American lawyers as well. Professional conduct has devolved to "not illegal" rather than the much higher traditional bar the the professional rules require:

    "[The legal profession] must discern the public interest for itself. It cannot expect a regulator to translate the public interest into a set of rules."

  6. So exhausted lately that I finally caved & have been using an #AI to help me draft initial contact statements to #lawyers/lawfirms and legal referral service agencies.... I just hope it works to get me on through to getting a firm on retainer, as after that I think I'll quit using them...

    I mean if worse comes to worse, I'll just find the formatting details I'll need for this & file the cases direct, but a lawyer sure as heck would make this mess a whole lot easier on me to fix.

    One of the problems is they keep pushing telephone call use, which is always a disaster because as difficult as that is for me, I could just be reading my favorite poem over the phone & still sound angry & frantic in that process.
