Need to interview 2 individuals in legal field/law school (I can give $15 Starbucks e-gift card)

I thought I’d just put this out here and give it a shot. My Intro to law and politics class needs me to interview 2 people in the legal field. Here are my options: 

A) two judges

b) two lawyers

c) two law school students

d) two individuals who have served on a jury that took multiple days

e) 2 trial lawyers (must have a decent amount of trials under their belt) 

The two interviewees must be from the same field so I can’t do a lawyer and a law school student. The only combinable situation I can do is a judge and a lawyer but then they’d have to be both in the same type of field (i.e. criminal law). I would need to do the interview over Zoom or Phone call and it’d take an hour to an hour and a half max. I’m willing to buy you a 15$ gift card to Starbucks (tho I’m cool if you want somewhere else so long as its a gift card). I have until December 4th to submit the paper so I can work with your schedule. And if you want to ensure that you are interviewed you could invite someone else you know to do the interview that fits the criteria. (I do have to interview you separately though). 

Please message me! I promise the interview won’t be the general “Why did you pick law school/career you did and tell me how hard it is?” That's a very small portion of the interview.

Whose idea was this

Law school is like a steel wall with a hidden door that you have to run into with full force over and over and over again until you find the hidden door. Only its not like a normal door but a mis-shaped figured door that you have to run into strategical to fit through.

It’s really hard to negotiate with an opposing counsel who doesn’t want to compromise on the grounds that it would be unfair to his client when frankly I agree.

Apparently all the public defenders that I didn’t go to law school with are on Tumblr... so yay me. :)

Hello baby PDs!

Quick little update on one tiny part of my life since I went MIA

Preface: John and I have been dating for about a year now, and I am sooo in love :)

If you remember I dated another guy from April-September of last year who was planning to go to law school in WA. 

We broke up, he started dating another girl a week later. (Typical, every guy I've ever dated falls in love with someone else within a month and lives happily ever after. I even told him this would happen).

August 2013. Go back to school. Guess who is a new student? Yep, Mr. Ex. He sends me a fb message the first day saying he saw me at school, didn't want it to be weird, blah blah blah. I respond nicely. Kind of weird that had I known he'd end up at my school, I might have put some effort in that relationship and it would've dragged out a lot longer.

Since then, we have had friendly conversations here and there, mostly about school/him asking me stuff. (I am the wise old 3L after all…)

Last week. He posts on Facebook that he's engaged. And has been for a month. The next day I see him at school and say congrats cause I felt weird pretending I didn't know. He gets awkward… "yep, I'm gonna do that… so what's new with you?"

And there ends another chapter in Date me so you find your dream girl immediately after we break up (or probably while we are still together). 

Most couples break up when one starts law school. I thought they'd be prime candidates since she is an ambitious-less receptionist with no understanding of what he's getting into and he's a future IP lawyer with a superiority complex. She's also covered neck to feet in sloppy tattoos and he won't really be able take her to any stuffy corporate law functions, at least if he wants those people to take him seriously.

After walking out of my Torts exam...

And hearing my friend tell me about all of the issues I didn't spot
