Kenngo1969 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I mean, Hey, I've got to get some use out of my Useless J.D. from a Third-Tier Law School, somehow, right? And if I'm not going to be allowed to represent someone else because I'll never be licensed ... Edited March 31, 2016 by Kenngo1969

Oh, I'm very well aware that I have a fool for a client, believe me. If I could afford to hire someone else to represent me and to otherwise do my bidding for me, I definitely would. Alas ... (In this type of litigation, this very-preliminary stage is known as "prelitigation") ... I suspect what happens in the overwhelming majority of cases of this type is that defendants simply ignore the mere "threat" and call would-be plaintiffs' bluffs. "Prelitigation? Nah! If you're really gonna sue me, I'll see you in court." It's my understanding that the majority of cases of this type never make it past the prelitigation stage (i.e., they never make it into court). I'm not sure what I will do even if the agency responsible for the preliminary review issues a certificate of merit or a certificate of compliance; I might not even pursue it in court. We'll see.

Anijen Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Quote 1. Is The Plaintiff (Really, at This Point, I'm a Mere "Petitioner") Guilty as Charged? Guilty, But Mentally Ill? Not Guilty By Reason of Mental Disease or Defect? Other? LOL, Although I know you were teasing and taking a humorous stab on yourself for taking the step towards suing someone. I first thought; wait, plaintiffs are usually not the ones whose guilt is in question. I think I can see why you don't use your JD. It is generally the defendant that you should have thoughts about being guilty. BTW where did you go to law school? I really don't subscribe to a third tier law school label. If it was an ABA credited school you were learning the same law as an Ivy League law school student.
rpn Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Is the point of pre-litigation to resolve the problem? (Of course, sending a demand letter has not nearly as much impact when sent by the potential plaintiff, as it does when sent from an attorney representing a client).
The Nehor Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I said I was sorry about crashing my car through your house, running over your dog, and ending up at the bottom of your swimming pool. Can't you just forgive and forget? 3

Can't you just forgive and forget? Sounds like you have the bases covered for a great country music song ! If suing doesn't work out , let me know and I will contact the head of your local " ways and means committee " , to see if there is a pound of flesh he can recover. 1
UtahTexan Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 You can sue me........I love the courtroom.......I very rarely lose, though...so be forewarned.....

There are, to be sure, a wealth of things upon which we disagree: we see certain aspects of the world fundamentally differently; that's OK. Now, if you were to use my real name and were to spread a bunch of stuff you know is not true about me, that would be a different ballgame ... but trust me, you probably wouldn't be able to come up with much that somebody hasn't already heard/read about me.

Hopefully; the thing is, it's statutorily required, but it isn't binding. As I said above, I strongly suspect that most respondents/would-be defendants simply ignore the process and say, "Hmph! If you're serious, go ahead and sue me," and most petitioners/would-be plaintiffs simply don't bother to follow through after the prelitigation process. Edited April 1, 2016 by Kenngo1969

I really don't subscribe to a third tier law school label. If it was an ABA credited school you were learning the same law as an Ivy League law school student. I don't necessarily subscribe to the whole "Top 20/25," "Second Tier," "Third Tier," and so on, theory, either. I went to the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah. The challenge is, you and I might not get so hung up on where someone went to law school or on what the purported status of that particular institution is, but that may or may not be true of any prospective employer. I think the ABA accreditation process is useful and necessary, but I don't necessarily think that all of the "bells and whistles" the ABA might require for accreditation are sin qua nons for an effective legal education. Nonetheless, when schools have tried to buck the ABA's "more bells and whistles are better" philosophy and have said, in essence, "Look, if we provide only what's absolutely necessary for an effective legal education, we can do that more cost effectively, our students can graduate with less debt, and they're no less prepared for careers as attorneys," the ABA has said, "Nope. Sorry. If you don't meet our bells-and-whistles standards, we're not going to accredit you." Compounding the problem is that the Supreme Court has held that putting a cap on the number of ABA-accredited law schools would violate antitrust law. The proliferation of ABA-accredited law schools has, arguably, diluted the value of law degrees. The more ABA-accredited law schools there are, the more "Top-Ten-Percenters" there are. The more "Top-Ten-Percenters" there are, the less incentive anyone has to hire anyone else. [/RANT OFF ] Edited April 2, 2016 by Kenngo1969 1

No law against that is there? I've thought about starting a business. I'll probably need to bank at least a little scratch so I can make that happen, which is rather tough when one is living more-or-less hand-to-mouth, as I've been doing lately. Still, it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility. Thank you for your encouragement.
