@jimsug Nah I didn't say you upcoated me, I just saw your username when I wanted to ping our do|t.

Ha, no worries.
@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Yeah, as DamkerngT says, I was active last year. I'm more active on Law.SE now, but I still come by ELL every now and then.

Yeah your avatar reminds me of courts.

@jimsug Hello!
Long time no see!

@DamkerngT. Indeed!

Damkerng T.
Ah, Law.SE... you must be familiar with LeP-- hmm... what's his username?
Ah, right! LePressentiment.
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
LePressentiment.
I wouldn't have remembered it if you asked me to.

@jimsug It's nice to see you again. How's everything going?
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Lawful.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Heh! So, linguistic stuff no more?

Linguistically lawful.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Oh, your name's in the reverse here!
It still looks the same in the other room.
And I have to type @in...
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Yay! It's spooky!
jimsug
jimsug
Yeah, it's going well. It's been tricky, Law.SE isn't getting as much traffic as I'm used to here.
And yes, I have seen LePressentiment around Law.SE too.
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Has he been vague in there?
jimsug
jimsug
There were a couple of questions which I thought were difficult to answer, I fear he may not find the answers he seeks there.

Q: How does the study of poetry benefit a lawyer?

LePressentiment[Source:] Justice Stevens bridges past, future; Written By Neil Steinberg; Posted: 06/11/2015 [Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens's] His advice to young lawyers ranged from the value of studying poetry — which he found “extremely valuable” on the bench because “it helped me ...

Oh, I didn't expect anything like that!
jimsug
jimsug
Based on a quote by one judge, he wants an answer on how it benefits legal practice.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
An interesting idea!
jimsug
jimsug
I mean... if it were a lot of judges claiming it? Yeah, maybe.
I said as much in the comment, but this isn't the kind of question we can answer.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
nods -- opinion-based?
Ah, I see -- too broad.
jimsug
jimsug
Way too broad.

It's like one person saying that going to an English-speaking barber helps your English learning :P
And then asking how it helps.
It probably would, now I think of it

@jimsug It doesn't?
Akh, I've been wasting time.

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M Not sure, I've never been in that situation.

This doesn't answer the question. To request clarification from the author, leave a comment below their post.

But a lot of his other questions were interesting, though not necessarily answerable.

Q: How to find a right, honest, skilled lawyer in a foreign country?

LePressentimentSuppose that a layperson resident far away (eg in Asia, the Americas, or Oceania) wishes to retain a solicitor or public access barrister in England, with these conditions: 1. The lawyer must specialise in the particular area of law concerned. 2. The lawyer must be adept and proficient, but NO...

Sigh This world is too small for law, I mean LeP/
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Potentially very useful.
jimsug
jimsug
@DamkerngT. Yeah, exactly. But I mean... how does one answer that?
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
With a keyboard.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. :D

23:35
Especially "must be incorruptible"?
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
And their fingers.
LeP is either a very curious little student, or a very unlucky and rare pedant lost in the nature where no one has ever gone.

I tend to be generous with assumptions about people.

> How can this layperson find someone fulfilling conditions 2 and 3?
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Like a third option saying: Or he's not a human?
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Maybe by asking someone in their own country who knows?

It is unfortunate that my first impression of him was his asking a slew of legalese questions here on ELL.
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
I understand. Humanoid species are vulnerable to what molecularities refer to as a first time impression.
jimsug
jimsug
@DamkerngT. This kind of answer makes his question seem like a game with arbitrary rules, where the answerers must try to find loopholes.
Also, the Law.SE chat - The Sidebar - is far less active than ELL's are.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Ahh
On the bright side, it looks like his questions are better received over there.
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
@jimsug Then tune them up!
I've relived chem.SE's chats. [emoticon for bragging]
jimsug
jimsug
There were a few deleted questions.
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

How many?

Hard to say. I don't have Review-tools privileges there yet.

Q: How to reopen these questions on laypersons' instructions of lawyers?

LePressentimentShould questions asking about dealing with lawyers (but not about the law itself) be on-topic? attests to the suitability of the following. So can they please be undeleted and reopened? Can they be improved? http://law.stackexchange.com/questions/71/what-can-a-layperson-do-to-minimise-his-her-b...

At least the two that he links to in this Meta post.

Man I've seen at least 7 meta Qs in which Law asks for sympathy question reopen.
jimsug
jimsug
He has the rep to cast a reopen vote, right? It really shouldn't come to a meta post about it.
I mean, on Law.SE, I don't think he does, and the questions were deleted by the system because of their score and such.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
He's got 320 rep points. What's the minimum requirement over there?
jimsug
jimsug
But on ELL there's no reason why they need the extra publicity. It'll come up in peoples' review queues.
@DamkerngT. It's a Beta site, so it's the same as ELL.
But he's got less rep on Law.SE

It needs 500 rep points to reopen.
jimsug
jimsug
yeah.
* cast a reopen vote, rather.
You still need four other people to agree with you.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Yes.
So, he'll need to ask a few more questions.
jimsug
jimsug
Pretty much. He'll get the hang of it.
It's harder on Law, where the standards are still being formed.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Oh, I didn't notice that HarryCBurn wasn't in the room.
@jimsug I'm not sure, but on ELL it seems like it was easier to get rep points when it was very young.

It's the long tail on posts
The older your question/answer is, the longer the time it has for people to come across it and upvote it.

Makes sense.

Two questions that get the same number of daily views and upvotes could result in way more rep if one of them is a few weeks or months older.
