You're bolstering our case, J. Thanks, but we don't need the help.

ROFL!

I knew it was safe to toss that one.

That whiffle bat isn't going to do much damage.

Kind of reminds me of the short guy who challenged Abe Lincoln to a duel. Being the challengee, Abe had the choice of weapons. He chose sledgehammers....in six feet of water.

I confess.

I am just barely 37 years old.

I am wet behind the ears.

I am still somewhere between grass and hay.

I need your prayers.

Haha, excellent. I hadn't heard that one, but I'll add it to my repertoire of Abe Lincoln illustrations.

It is good to be analytical, but you appear to overanalyze things.
Wrong again about why I reach the conclusions that I do.

1. Of course big legal forms do pro bono work! My guess is that the type of pro bono work you described doesn't go to the younger attorneys who most likely must get in a huge amount of billable hours so they can keep their jobs and make partner down the road.

2. I would be SHOCKED if one could be a young attorney at a big BIG law firm and have enough hours in the day to post on this forum regardless of when they were actually at the firm or posting.

3. I am not a legal aid. The court-appointed work I do allows me to work with others who are least able to help themselves. My billed legal fees come from other areas of the law.

You may have to simplify this a bit, Newman.
