Layman to the Law

The Law

As I start to add more and more to this legal blog, I think it will become painfully obvious to the reader that I know really nothing about the law. This blog is intended to explore the law through research and news events.

Information you find in this blog will most likely be inaccurate at times. I don't want any readers to take what I write in here as gospel, because it is all subject to interpretation and legitimacy. Furthermore, if you find something that needs correction, omission, tweaked, twirled, or edited... please let me know. I will try and keep things here accurate... to the best of my ability.

As far as I know, one is legally allowed to share opinions, so you will see my opinion on subjects quite often. Anytime I slander, misuse, hurt, belittle, misinform, or any other act; punishable by litigious action... please let me know. I will do my best to delete, edit, or altogether change posts and entries. I am after all, a layman to the law.

Law Suit Millionaires

Law suit Millionaires is a blog that was started to explore a litigious society. A nation of sue-happy schemers and dreamers who want to have a Hollywood glamor life overnight. This blog will explore those types of law suits.

This blog will also explore the process of becoming involved in the law. I will try to interview lawyers, law students, judges, police officers, or any other person who may have useful and/or interesting input.

I should also explain that I do not have any background in law. I do not have any family members who are high priced defense attorneys. I don't have a local lawyer paying me to advertise for them through this blog. No, none of the above are reasons for my writing of this blog. I'm more curious to explore questions like: "Why are there so many criminal defense shows on TV?" or "How many years of college and law school will take for me to become a lawyer?" Questions like: "How much money was paid last year in attorney fees in America?" There are tons of evil lawyer jokes... Why? Why do hate them so?

Hit TV shows like 1997's Ally Mcbeal, Night Court, and Law & Order have dominated cable and prime time television. Block buster movies such as The Firm, A Time to Kill, and The Devil's Advocate are all centered around courtroom drama. We even have celebrity judges... ask Judge Lance Eto. He's been a round about celebrity for years now. Robert Schapiro is a household name. What is our fascination with the law?

From Scott Peterson to the Wendy's finger in the chili law suit, to the McDonald's hot coffee law suit. Some court cases are absolutely legitimate. Some are false law suits for riches. Let's face it, some are just stupid people who should be euthanized. Whatever the case, it will be explored and questioned here.

My ultimate goal is explore the legal process. To find about law and it's origins. To investigate the law's metamorphosis over the years, law's evolution.
