Why do client relatives love rattling off case numbers? (Crim appeals bro)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 30th, 2024 11:45 AM Author: .,:,;,..,;.,::,..,:,.,.:..,;.,::,..,:,.,.: if i accidentally answer a call from a client relative or play their voicemails, they love beginning by rattling off a long case number as if i'm some robot or in front of some database just typing in case numbers. why not just say this client's name?
i'm curious on the psychology. i think they think a call to a lawyer is some big official thing and they've got to sound official by having a case number. |

Date: October 30th, 2024 4:24 PM Author: .,:,;,..,;.,::,..,:,.,.:..,;.,::,..,:,.,.: probably true. i also don't think they imagine their appellate lawyer as some guy sitting in a spare bedroom wearing nothing but his boxers, answering his own cell phone, writing briefs while he reads some 80s looking message board.
