Family
Dec 12, 2009
In some ways, my family operates like the Mafia. They’re moving into their own house for the first time in, I think, my entire life. My mother called me today and told me they’re finalising the paperwork week after next. She asked me to come home for the transfer, “You know, because you’re going to be a lawyer, and you’re the eldest.”

And so it begins. You’ll be asked to review contracts, write wills, assist in filling out all manner of forms all because you know ” the law inthe absolute broadest sense of the term.

i dunno about auspicious, but it’s definitely endearing.
initially my mom’d bring home stacks of legal paperwork and sneer at me.
now she tells me stories about how wonderful her patient’s daughter – who works for the med association on issues of medical malpractice – is.
(also, the two funniest lawpeople i know in one thread, yesss!)
