- The practice of zeal. How to zealously advocate for your cause. Keep being a zealous advocate; but in the process, don't forget to be an advocate for yourself.

Being a lawyer love this, my utmost devotion is to the best interest of my client.
A judge once told me, he has never seen a person fighting his heart out for a stranger like a lawyer do.
First off, lawyers fight for paying clients not strangers, or in the case of personal injury, clients that can award them a large return. Next, lawyers fight by misrepresenting, withholding, lying, exagerating, asking their witnesses to lie and withhold, and by falsely discrediting their opponent. It's much of what a comedian does but with much higher consequences and is much more binding. IMO, the term 'doctor and lawyer' are not synonyms. Doctors take a vow to help. Lawyer set out to hurt.
@@brianmueller7913 geez who hurt you
@@brianmueller7913 I would fight for a stranger but okay
@@user-ib7wy4oq9e A good thing about social media is that a person can claim to be anyone they want to be. Also, to claim that lawyers "fight for strangers" comes from the same tray of BS that they sling in the courtroom...and to their clients.
@@togamiscash9941 A pure scumbag lawyer who works for Liberty Mutual. Also, from a grossly incompetent lawyer on my side of the table. Nothing supersedes experience.
Very true. Its easier to stand up, speak out and defend for other people rather than ourselves.
I am law student, going into my second year loving every experience.
Phillip Banda how?
How did it go?
Law is fun is you understand the principles, cases and researches.
Is LSAT really hard? Cuzz that's what I'm really anxious about

This is to anyone who plans on studying law
-it's easy but attend all classes i kid you not if you miss out one day of class you'll have to catchup on a lot. I am a first year student and it's both easy and hard you just have to stay on top of your work!
Any tips for anyone thinking about law school in general? What are things you wish you knew, And did the experience so far match your expectations? How so
A curious student 😄
easy?
@@maple_latte2669 honestly if you love reading, love problem solving, politics you’ll enjoy law so much! My best advice is keep up with your readings, do the assigned work and honestly attend all your classes (and ask questions) also make friends within the degree you’re studying! Im in 3rd yr now and it gets harder but dont give up and remember why you started your journey and why you wanted to study law. Hope this helps and all the best 😊
@@MB-gd6be definitely not i spoke too soon!! its is an half/ half thou….it really depends
Wow, in tears. In law school now and just decided to stop caring about myself because theyre drawing so much out of me. Thank you!
“You can’t go out and ‘Better Call Saul’ the situation.” - That is exactly what I want to do!
I want to drink water for this guy
Lmmfao!!!
🤔?
Lol 😂😂
haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can not express enough how important as a client to have a lawyer who is a zealous advocate for you because if they arent you lose thank you for this
I want to be a lawyer
Wish me succes!
Make Law a passion - not a job and you'll be fine. Good luck!
I wish you all the luck in the world
Good luck ! And enjoy !
Practicing law is a highly rewarding profession if you're passionate about helping people. Good luck on your journey!

I'm an attorney and I do credit law school with making me a better thinker. I went to a top 10 undergraduate program but law school definitely honed my critical thinking skills. On the other hand, it stifled my writing ability because lawyers are taught (with strictness) to write in a certain style. It also made me work very slowly and methodically, which results in better work but is not necessarily a good thing for people working in various non-lawyer roles.
How do you explain what is critical thinking to a ten year old?
I am a Law grad and I can't forget the lesson here. "be a zealous advocate for your client and for yourself "
I really need to hear these words today. Thank you
12:30 thank you. I needed to hear this, reminded to be an stronger advocate for myself at this very moment. Been fighting for my life first, for 4 years now.
The battle is not the war. This legal battle is 1 more battle.
I am a zealous advocate for others, even strangers. The time has come to do so for myself. Blessings.
I'm about to start my LLB. Came here to reduce my nervousness. Wish me good luck guys.🙏
excellent and concise talk, thank you!
I like the point that we should be zealous advocates for ourselves-but the title of the talk suggests it will teach the viewer how to think like a lawyer. A few points skipped over quickly and then we went into autobiography where most of the talk remained. I still enjoyed it but came for the promise of the title. This would be where the negative comments are coming from generally I would guess.
Yes I also expected some tricks or some experiences but yes it was a good speech.. though slightly shifted from the topic of the video!
I like this presentation it gives you a fresh prespective and behind the scenes of being a lawyer, and that they are human too and not just a magician.I too aspire to be a lawyer.
Thank You!
Thank you so much for this video!
Very building,thank you!
I learned from Harvey Specter 😁
Totally
@@SketchierRaptor ok
I studied Roy Cohn
I learned from mike
yessssss and Mike
On my first year in law school and I'm loving it
Can we connect if you don't mind.
How is it going for you now? are you still loving it? i’m thinking about going to law school and im not so sure about it anymore after hearing a lot of negative stuff about it.
Thank you. 💖🙏🏽
I am in my second year of law school, and finding it very challenging. I came here for inspiration. I have had an eating disorder, been in a psych ward. I don't know if i am strong enough to be a lawyer. How can i make law my passion? I can't compete with others. I can just be myself, whatever in the world that is.
I’m a highschool student and am thinking of going in to Psychology or Law. But am afraid if people won’t treat me as they would treat others. I am A very short Muslim girl with social anxiety. I am interested in law but don’t have the courage be a lawyer. The reason I want to get into law is because Ive been told by many that I am good at arguing and analyzing situations. I am really interested in this profession but I’m afraid if everyone in that profession are good looking confident white people. Are there people like me?
@@laibatahir4627 There is so much power in perseverance. Your courage will grow with confidence in what you are working with. I was a tutor in college and it helped me learn to teach one on one with people, get over my social anxiety, and learn a passion for helping those struggling with problems. Best of luck to you friend.
Good luck! You're braver than me to have begun. Finish strong and follow your dreams!
If you are strong enough to take the LSAT, get into school, and get through your first year, then you are strong enough to graduate! It is hard, but many people do it and so can you. I know because I did it as a square peg too. You SHOULD be yourself.
If law is not your passion just quit. Youre not made to be a lawyer.
Great talk!!
I am a First year law student from
Sierra Leone west Africa
3rd year Law student from India. And this is some good advice.
Issue rule analysis conclusion - avoid emotional reactions - see both sides - infer rules from patterns - compare situations using analogies
This was so wonderful
It was nice listening to him
I am not going to be a law student, but i realized that i needed to improve my thinking skills, so i ended up here. The aforementioned is also the reason why i would like to be an Ace Attorney in Attorney Online ;)
Excellent thank you
so proud of you; as the first african american female physician in my family, continue to let your light shine
good talk!
Thanks for this video
Thank you!! I needed that, as sometimes we forget ourself cause of this busy work life situation we go through.. 👍
Yes. Totally agree with you on this one.
I feel like I can relate to his energy
I actually love ❤️ this guy’s character and truth behind what he is trying to express.
Instead of becoming a Police Officer 👮♀️ first I should of applied for Harvard or Oxford Law degree 📜 program.
Because of being told I have a learning disability and issues with taking tests.
I never applied.
Thank you 🙏 for sharing this knowledge.
I'm here because i wanna be a lawyer.
Idk
'I'm just taking it one step at a time'
PERFECT.
Ironically, a lackluster speech about the importance of zeal.
I think it was more like be kind to yourself. He told the story of the family court and noticing the parents not being kind to themselves.that was the backdrop. so I think his tone was right. just my view
Very well said 🎉🎉🎉
Nice, thanks
Thanks. Enjoy Dads happiness part 1-4
This was a great video!
He go hard for YOU!
🎉🎉🎉 awesome hear
Being a Lawyer you can protect your family, friends and loves ones specially to poor people. You can realized the importance of life because this world is not enough for us.
What's the important thing about life that lawyers know?
He does family law work! I have respect for him cuz it's meaningful but not lucrative.
Its lucrative. Depending on what family issues we practice, and what jurisdiction we practice.
Family law is very lucrative. Especially divorce stuff. Those cases drag on for ages amd you can charge your client insane amounts of money.
There will always be divorces and breakups so you will never lack work either.
I have been a lawyer since 2001.
Congrats!!! Strong work
What's your achievements since 2001 till now
I want to know because I am also almost done my law degree
But still remaining 1 year 👵
Week idk what of quarantine and I’m here to think of becoming a lawyer idk if it quarantine effects or I want to

I'm Law Graduate and Learn More from you about The Canons of Legal ethics
Here, take my money. 💰 💰
I am Grade 12 right now and next year I will going to college but I didn't know what course I want to take. I imagine my self as a Lawyer but I'm not good in English, I am not good in memories so the people around me told me to find some courses that suit me, but I don't like any courses. That's very prostrate me.
You do what suits you and what u like and if ur passionate about it then u should go for it .
You should do whatever makes you happy..satisfied...So decide yourself..All the best❤️
What are your grades like ? If u don’t mind me asking
@@julianrodriguez2021 whatever her grades are, I got better
i want to be lawyer wish me success!
You'll need more than wishes & luck
@@kathryncarter6143 thankyou :) where u from?
Thank YoU so much. 🌹
Be well & stay
Ble$$ed because YoU are. I am in that very example you give. In 2023 I am free from drugs & abuse. I want My Daughter home so much. I have been zealous in my recovery & for her well being. I was missing a part. The very piece that you hit on today. I really needed to hear this right now. Again I appreciate you more than you may ever know. With @LL My 💔 I Th@Nk YoU❣️I will soon have the pieces back together 💞
Yess
That was amazing especially after the 9min mark 😅🔥
Ted x is a REAL MOVATION INSPIRED
highly excellent, informative video. My like hit the 6000 [6K] mark!
“I’d have to think about that…i cant recall at the moment…it may be…i couldn’t be sure…im not entirely sure i understand….it’s possible but i cant be sure…..”
everyone: I want to be a Lawyer! Wish me luck!
me: *I'm here because of among us, trying to convince people I'm not the imposter for the 100th time*
HAHAHAHAHAHHA LOL
I found the sync of the talk was problematic. Lost the message in delivery. Anyway, appreciate for doing it for Law college!
Same. He only talks about thinking like a lawyer for 2 seconds then proceeds to discuss his entire life story like we haven't heard the same thing over and over. Truly a lawyer's speech.
Belive ,think ,live ,be a lawyer ...Or whatever you want to be
issue
rule
analysis / application
conclusion
avoid emo
argue n see both sides
infer rules from.patterns
compare situations using analogies
accept ambiguity and question everything
zealous advocate = entire devotion on the interest of the client
warm zeal = utmost of what u can do for client. for just / fair results
play the cards youre dealt
easier to b a zealous advocate for others than for yourself
Practice of zeal and thinking like a lawyer are two different things.
why
Zeal can be applied to everything including profession. Thinking like a lawyer does. It necessarily applies to every profession.
“I dont recall” sounds better than “I dunno”
thank you it is makeing more seeing more u can me more of an good lawery
What
Im currently considering to go either for Law or for Business, a tough decision.
Business choose business
@@musicwitchrachaeloneil4601 .....
I feel you cos same🤧
Get a double major & focus on business law.
i've had the exact same dilema before starting law school. I chose law now but if i manage to handle it properly, i wanna implement business too from next year. It takes dedication but you can do both if you want!
I want to be a lawyer
I’d like to be a judge, but no funds. So much education, but no job. I won’t give up hope. Just don’t start yelling at others, lawyers. Stay calm, listen and let down your egos.
I'm a zealous advocate for the police involved in the dangerous countless encounters they have daily.
great video guys @t
?How would I go about asking another lawyer of a current situation without affecting my current court situation.?
This here is the reason why I want to be a lawyer only for good tho 🎉🎉
A chest game 🎉🎉
❤
I'm only 12 and I want to be a lawyer! any tips on where should I focus at?
Excellent information. The one point I would proffer though, at around 8:25 you state that most people end up in family court etc due to some inherent personal issue, drugs, alcohol, poverty etc. A LOT of people end up in family court that have none of those issues. Cough cough, title 4-d, cough cough, alimony, cough cough, she just got bored. LOL
I am to take the BAR this 2020 if God be willing. But until now, I am still convincing myself that I want to become a lawyer and that it is God's will that I will become a lawyer. Still looking for reasons why should I do this....
How did it turn out for you?
I have exams and I'm so anxious 😟
Um a second year law student.its reallyyyyyy awesome being a law student. But tbh sometimes i feel soo annoyed when i go out to the public/ societty .thats because as a law student.. i see so many illegal things than an ordinary person does.....and i just have to keep quiet and stay like thats non of my business since the society accepts those behaviors directly or indirectly even though the law is against them...( ex- smoking in public places is prohibited ..but people smoke) ....
“Better call saul the situation” hahahaha
3:01
All the way bro, I paying!!!
10:20 onwards: "I was sort of like Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner, And I was going so fast from goal to goal, step to step, At the time I started doing what I wanted to do, and what was the end goal all the time, I was a mile off the edge of the cliff."
What is the minimum standard qualification of being a lawyer?
Was this a lunch and learn for 1st year lawyers?
My phone may be bugged by sick retaliatory gangsters.
An error I noticed in the talk was the use of "mental health", when mental illness seemed to be the challenge described.
***I think the above feedback has earned me some legal advice...!***
There seem to be some subtle/overt crimes going on in my neighborhood, and to document some of them, with at least one exception, I've been sending emails to myself.
Yesterday I drafted an email and it's still in my drafts box. Please feel free to let me know if I may send it to you/someone for a "courtworthiness" check!😁
I watch this video to put myself to sleep
You are honest and say: "I'm a lawyer" and then the conversation changes, eyes light up, and they start talking and you say, no longer honest: "I've never been in court, I only do wills and trusts and maybe corporate contracts." "Oh. Sorry. So how about those Patriots" and we're back on track!
And don’t forget to be zealous about not being a zealous advocate for whoever pays you most. And makes you their tool.
Law of attraction: I will be a Lawyer
You are a successful lawyer 🙌🏻🤍✨
So am I 🤗
