Hey everyone. I work as a paralegal at a family law firm.Yesterday a client left threatening to come back with a gun. I called the police, and they said to call if he actually came back. He did. He rolled by our office slowly and then parked down the street. I saw him get out and then stand on the corner, facing our office, dressed in a black hoody with the hood up and black pants, talking on his phone....emphatically, let’s say. I called the police and they met him on the corner, frisked him and he didn’t have a gun. He’ll be trespassing if he comes back. I guess he was just waiting for us to leave for the day so he could talk.
Question though: if I get shot, hopefully in the arm or leg, and in a non-fatal fashion, you think mentioning that in my personal statement will give me any boost? I’m set to take the November test and with a good score I’ll be a splitter.
This truly did happen (still haven’t been shot). I used this forum as an outlet mainly just to talk about something that happended. So the question was rhetorial and a joke. I apologize if any took it seriously, but I have suspicion that most didn’t.
PSA: People in family cases are crazier than people in criminal cases. My experience. Want to go into family law? Why would you do that? I’m still planning on it.
