Date: October 30th, 2025 12:37 PM Author: OldHLSDude Some sage whose name I have forgotten asked why a young lawyer spends so much time at the court. The answer was that he has nothing else to do. Applies to old lawyers too, I guess. After 40 years in law, what else is left? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791640&forum_id=2/en-en/#49387891) |

You can't think of anything better to do with your time than write briefs about whether a subcontractor's emails are under the "possession, custody, or control" of the opposing party?

Date: October 30th, 2025 1:11 PM Author: ''''''''''''' My first boss does this and is 70+ (not a lawyer). Spent almost 45 years in leveraged lending and PE so is clearly loaded. I think he literally has nothing else to do with his life and just likes deals. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791640&forum_id=2/en-en/#49388020) |

Date: October 30th, 2025 1:24 PM Author: Nazca Redlines Really sad (and sick). My uncle is doing this. He has 4 adorable grandkids who live nearby and who he seems to love spending time with. He only sees them a few times a month, largely because he is still grinding as a ("semi-retired") lawyer. He does not need the money. I think it's something to do, and he feels an obligation to his clients and his colleagues and to the law, though in reality, the'd all be fine without him.
