IANAL, so I don’t place law school classes on a pedestal above other forms of education.
A professor tearing apart my understanding of the Lumpenproletariat might have embarrassed me, but it did cause me to rethink some of my assessments of 19th century class struggles.
I obviously recognize that you have a very different practical view on the matter.

I'm not upset, just expressing empathy for my classmates.
This wasn't borne from interaction or used as a teaching point. It's the first line of our required textbook. It just seems like odd and desperate, like a teenager that can't express themselves so they swear a lot.

I really came in here to ask about the rationality of using something like Legal Zoom for a basic will.

Just put it on a cocktail napkin. It'll stand up in court if you really meant it.

At least the professor didn't call the police "the largest criminal street gang in the United States," which is what I would call them if I were teaching that class.

My mom got picked to be in a grand jury pool. There'll be 200 and out of those they will pick 50. Anyway if she gets picked she has to go for a week per month for 18 months. Nuts! At $40 a day. Pretty crazy for that amount of time

In California you can't work for a year. I read a case about a federal employee that kept volunteering to be renewed and she got fired.
Thread of legal hubbub
That's hard to fathom. If I had to take a year off, I'd get behind on regs, plain development, lose relationships. Just crazy, I never knew they worked anything like that

It is a year, but you have to apply. I didn't know the second part.

Where in the world did you hear this? GJs are empaneled for a year at a time in some instances (the rules are different state vs fed), but what you are suggesting would narrow the pool down to the homeless and independently wealthy. I think CA federal GJs only meet one day a week.In California you can't work for a year. I read a case about a federal employee that kept volunteering to be renewed and she got fired.

That is a stunted manager, not established procedure or law.

She only needed to report 1 or 2 days a week. She would have otherwise been available for her regular duty. (Presuming the Navy allows for part-time jury duty)Each grand jury establishes its own work schedule. Historically, committee meetings are held Tuesday through Thursday. Mondays and Fridays are used for protocol visits, interviews, and other tasks. During a weekly general meeting a full panel of jurors is vital to productive discussion and decision making. Time off is coordinated with the foreperson.

And this is why it would be just super if your state could just go ahead and secede already.

Oh please, the rules outlined above are less onerous than the PA rules. (one week a month for 18 months)

Speaking to Shyster's earlier point that judges are just like everyone else; they're often flawed, stupid people.Jurors in Comal County, Texas, weren’t swayed when the judge entered the jury room and said that God told him the defendant wasn’t guilty.
Judge Jack Robison said God told him to let jurors know that Gloria Romero Perez should not be convicted, report the Austin American-Statesman and the San Antonio Express-News. Robison spoke with jurors after they signaled they had reached their verdict, jury foreman Mark House told the Express-News.

One of my professors, Eric Tostrud was nominated Monday by Trump to serve as a district judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
He is the only professor I've had that I find intimidating. Not in a bad way, but the guy is tight and crisp and when he talks you just listen. Most of my profs are either the personification of a talking dictionary or want to be your best friend. Prof Tostrud is the real deal. He's also an alum, so it's nice to see the degree isn't entirely useless.

A question for the fellows in 5thAveLand smarter than me...
In 2005 I licensed a movie I produced to a film distribution company. That deal was for 5 years and included the right of first refusal. No additional contracts were signed. It has recently come to my attention that the company that licensed the film in 2005 is still "selling" it and has deals for online distribution via Amazon, Youtube, etc.
Am I wrong in thinking any money they've made off the film since 2010 was obtained by less than ethical means since our original contract was never extended? If so, I'm sure it wouldn't amount to more than a few thousand dollars so I don't know that there's much point in pursuing the matter legally, but I'm a little irked.

You are not wrong. The contract expired, so they are distributing your product without permission.
