A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn't relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? "Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?"

I don't know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don't get to live any dream you like.

Remember that time she intentionally published her own sex video and then lied and said it was a leak?

Or the fact that she willingly Married Kanye West..

What? You mean getting a divorce and then deciding to live in a football stadium for a month are psycho actions?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

No that part was just dudes being dudes come on now

To be fair, I don't even like football but I think that's be cool. If I had that kind of influence to do that, I might do it too. That's not the psycho part.

the act of persuasion involves a degree of acting

I think her dad was a trial attorney. Maybe that has influenced her interest (and possibly there's some hidden genetic talent there too).

Yeah, defended some minor sportsman. It's not like the family name only got famous through the blood of innocent victims or anything like that. The Kardashians were picked up by MTV back then only by pure happenstance.

Wait, no - I was wrong. Not a trial attorney. Not even a licensed attorney at the time of the murder. He had to get his licenced renewed to be a volunteer assistant attorney on the OJ case. BUT did create MovieTunes, the business that brought you music between movies in the theater. Huh!

she might might relegate it to a PARTNER in law, she will advise said partner, rather than representing a case?
