"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"

-From Shakespeare's Henry VI

Do you know any good lawyer jokes?

Here's one . . .

Question:

Why won't sharks attack lawyers?

Answer:

Professional courtesy!

For your first journal entry:

1) Writeabout why you think lawyers (some; not all!) have a bad reputation

2) Explain why, in your opinion, this reputation is either justified or not justified

3) Tell me how being a "sophisticated client" will help to ensure that your first meeting with a lawyer will be a much more positive experience...
