The California Bar Association shows two lawyers age 100, 8 age 99 and 14 age 98—it seems to me if you practice that long we should stop calling it “practice” and simply call you “perfect.”
I hear the two oldest are still consulted on difficult cases involving Herbert Hoover history.
any age after 50 is way too old fo an attorney. I firmly believe that once a candidate passes the bar exam they must be stamped with an expiration date on their forward. Once they have expired they either must change professions to something less litigious or commit suicide, after all that would be the decent thing to do.
I’d say it’s the other way ‘round. I think under 40 is too young and inexperienced in life to be allowed to handle sharp and highly dangerous tools like the law. No one under 40 should be allowed to sit for the bar.
Hmmm...good point. As long as we agree on an the expiration date…
This is most boring lawyer joke I’ve ever heard.
I have been trying to come up with a clever post about on the job injuries, missing fingers and inexperienced law clerks..but, alas, I will need to leave it up to one of you more clever scriners.
see, now, me? i’m of the school that believes those under 40 should not be allowed to sit. period.
Or… deteriorating…
