See, people say lawyers are evil, and then, like manna from heaven, cases like this pop up.

There are going to be some very happy lawyers over this/Fortune 500s racism, etc.

That's a profound oversimplification of the truth.

There are no absolutes when it comes to this subject. Most people- at some point in their life- will need the services of a professional advocate.

As for the subject of this thread- this is not the first instance of this modern-day segregation on the campuses of American universities. This shameful stuff needs a court challenge, because I cannot see how this could be legal in this country after 1964.

Well sure, but if you're gambling in Havana and you take a little risk, besides guns and money what can get you out of that?

This is why I’m a cook, not a humorist.

I was attempting to make a joke, about how some very lucky lawyers are about to have a retirement case drop in their laps.

I feel your pain. I am frequently misunderstood as well. If only I could generate smileys in a thought bubble as I talked.....

I’m a lawyer and I think I can cook, don’t feel bad. Not all lawyers jump at those cases, I do criminal defense, civil rights litigation is a different animal all together.
