Anyway, the page that we’re featuring today is the “Lawyer Issues” Instagram. It’s a place for funny and relatable content for lawyers and law students alike. I’m definitely no lawyer, but even I had a chuckle at many of these. So scroll down and see if you find them relatable, too! Bored Panda got in touch with the creator of the page, and they were kind enough to tell us more about what it’s like to manage the lawyer memes page. Read our entire conversation below! More info: Lawyer Issues | Lawyer Interviews | The Podcast on YouTube The creator tells us that they also flirted with the idea of becoming an engineer. “But lacking confidence in my math skills, I chose law instead,” they explain. “That’s another typical ’trap’ drawing many young people to law schools. And what inspired me to start my meme page? It was the stress from my legal job, of course! I needed an outlet to vent my sarcasm,” the creator laughs. “So far, we’ve conducted 56 biographical interviews and have also posted some video analyses of trending legal topics,” the page’s creator and the producer of the podcast tells Bored Panda. “The original host, Reggie, is an amazing lawyer, and the current hosts, Jeff Dylan and Cynthia, are also lawyers. Jeff is a stand-up comedian based in NYC, so some of your readers might have the chance to catch one of his live shows.” “One of the myths is that the activities portrayed in legal TV shows are similar to the real jobs of lawyers in the legal profession. This is something some law students believe because they watch those TV shows to see what awaits them after law school. Of course, this is not true.” the page’s administrator explains. “I would recommend they watch our podcast ‘Lawyer Interviews’ to see firsthand what real attorneys talk about regarding practicing law. Also, I’d like to debunk another myth: that ’lawyers argue all day.’ Again, this is not true. Arguing is actually the smallest part of a lawyer’s job, but that doesn’t stop non-lawyers from telling lawyers, ‘I could have been a lawyer because my mom told me I’m good at arguing,’” the creator says. There’s a similar joke in season one of Marvel’s Daredevil (previously on Netflix, now on Disney+). The two main characters, best friends and lawyers Foggy and Matt, are talking about what they will name their future practice. Foggy mishears the Spanish word “abocados” for “avocados,” joking that they will name it “Nelson & Murdock: Avocados At Law.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
