Any lawyers or paralegals on the board? Need some legal advise.

The best I can do is say my brother-in-law is a 2nd year law student...I could relay any info you have to him (I'll see him in a few days) if you'd be willing to share it. Obviously anything said would be confidential.

My guess is that there won't be any lawyers who are part of the forums here though. My aunt (who I rarely see) is a lawyer, and she works 60-80 hours in an average week, so I presume most lawyers wouldn't have time to play a collectible card game.

If you can't find anyone you know personally/through a friend, I do know that professional lawyers might be willing to meet with you briefly for free, but will probably require a fee before they give you any actionable advice. Paralegals might be a better option, but there are probably required fees associated with talking to them as well. Assuming you'd rather avoid that, a law student is probably your best bet. They're super busy, but they are usually ambitious enough to want to develop their skills with any opportunity, and get recognized in the law community.

If you PM me, I might be able to help out. I'm obviously not a lawyer or paralegal, but I do have some experience in the field, being very close to one of my professors, who graduated law school.

I believe Kirk went to law school for a time.

If I remember right, he took the LSAT, but ended up pursuing business, not law. But I guess he'd be the best one to answer that.

I did take the LSAT and had scholarships to a couple schools but decided to work and pay off undergrad debt instead. I am blesse to hear y'all remember I was looking into law. :)

Jonathan Slager (Pirendeus) is a lawyer, but I haven't seen him in years.
