another open letter

Dear Law Students,

Yes, yes, I know, we all “think like lawyers.” But we are also PEOPLE, right? Nice, collegial people? Yes? Yes, I thought so too.

With that being said, the next time someone politely asks you to keep an eye on their stuff while they grab some lunch, the proper response is probably, “Sure, no problem!” or “Well, I was actually just about to leave…” NOT “I accept no liability, but if you want…”

Because that last response? Just makes people think you are a shit not a nice, collegial person.

All the best, y’all.
