So I wouldn't consider it a formality!

Thanks for clearing all that up

Just keep in mind, I am a layman like you, I just have a lot of interest in law. I can always be wrong.

@Maw You at least described how it works here. You can sign as "santa clause". If witnesses/counterpart testify you gave the impression you were entering into a contract, the signature doesnt matter. If anything, its your handwriting, and as such proof that you were either entering into a contract or trying to make it seem like you did. The latter would be criminal, and you would still be bound by the contract, so that would only land you a bonus verdict for attempted fraud.

Also NOT a lawyer, but courts are a significant part of my livelihood.

@DrSammyD please list all youtube lawyers you know of

Robert, Vivafrei, Barnes, Nate The Lawyer off the top of my head.

Legal Eagle (dubious)

legaleagle suffers from TDS, hes ok on anything that is not political in nature

anyone play chess?

Uncivil Law

Reketia

need more left wing youtube lawyers

Dont forget R & R law

@ImNotGas, you just advanced to level 1!

@ImNotGas lol that goes without saying here

It's hard to be left wing and believe in the rule of law 😉

ehhhhh

sorry had to lol

it is surprising actually,

i know both sides of the establishment love to be horribly corrupt

because I've always pictured defense lawyers as being more left leaning

In my opinion the left do play for keeps more than the right though, they seem to be happy being the opposition party

(a la the ACLU)

oh ACLU is a political group

dont think of it as an altruistic group fighting for civil rights

ACLU, SPLC, ADL etc, they are a part of the lefts machine

I didn't mean to start a discussion about the ACLU's politics heh

just that my picture of self defense lawyers was left wing

left leaning

ah

especially in the 90s

i mean i can see where you would draw the conclusion

sure in the 90s i'd agree with you

90s democrat platform is trumps current platform

right wingers were not very in favor of defense lawyers (why would you defend criminals :spit face:!) or FoS (video games should be banned! they make people violent!)

sure thats the political paradigm of 20 years ago

and you still have dinosaurs in the partys acting that way

the same is true of the ACLU 🙂

some are political

i really see populism taking over the republican party in the next 10-20 years
