Answer 1

I'm glad you asked that question.

I went to university and studied economics. And then I took an aptitude test (the LSAT, as it then was) on a bet, and got a very high score. And even though my college grades weren't the greatest (they weren't bad, either) I got into the #3 law school (I applied to 3 only of the top 10 and got into them all). So I studied law even though I hadn't any particular interest.

And I passed the bar first time, but the law still bored me so I spent 20 years seing the world and making babies.

And then I went back to law school in another country for six years, and got 3 more law degrees. And in the country where I got those degrees, and in the funny language they speak there, they call me "Doctor". Which embarrasses me, because I still think the title belongs to a medical person, and my youngest daughter, of the many I have, is studying medicine in London.

Anyway, to get back to the subject, people kept asking me questions about why they were caught up in the legal system, and I didn't want to be rude, and so I answered them.

And that's how I got involved with the criminal justice system. Giving free, or relatively free, advice. But the practice of law is a business even more than it is an academic subject or a professional expertise; and I have no business sense and no wish to emulate the late Jimmie Cochrane.
