finally turned in my 2nd paper
good riddance to mr. smith
and his stupid mother-in-law
and the stupid grandparental visitation statute
i can't stare at that stupid paper any longer
and for once in my life
i actually had too much to write
and had to trim down the paper to fit the page limit
which is odd
b/c i'm usually trying to add filler words to make the paper longer
among other little tricks
so now i'm ready for my next topic
a 13 yr old boy plays paintball
got shot in the eye and almost lost his eyesight
eyesight is now restored to 60%
and can't engage in physical contact sports
he sues the paintball place
i will defend my client, "Paintball Place"
and i mainly need to prove "assumption of risk"
meaning that the boy knows playing paintball is dangerous
and yet he voluntarily exposed himself to that risk
which resulted in his injury
anyone think i will lose my case?
thoughts? tips? ideas?
neatly typed up with 1.5 spacing and 1 inch margins
would be greatly appreciated

I think I could sue:
Mcdon Don for my high cholesterol. (Low HDL ... High LDL...grrrr)
Or Starbucks for my irregular pulse..lack of sleep at night..
or Ikea for my back injury caused by spending 3 hrs putting crappy furniture together without that one crucial bolt….and I had to “ghetto-wire” with some replacement metal piece that I dug up from my old toolbox…
Made me shout out their name and echo through the condo hall way….“Ikea”!! IKEA!!! (I kill YA!!!! I kill YA!!!!)
hmm...i'm ...speechless....
oh while you're in the hallway, will you tackle the stupid little girl that roams the hallway at night?
haahhaa...i just realized how weird that sounded...
You will lose. Even though the kid signed a consent form (is that what they're called??? You know....the "I know this shit is dangerous, and I will not sue you if I get hurt or die" form)....but it seems like everyone still sues and there's usually a settlement.
You should tell your client (I'm assuming he's a redneck since he operates a paintball facility) that he has nothing to worry about....and even though your services are a little on the expensive side compared to other law firms....he should choose you because you know how to put a great case together for him. Make sure you get a 75% retainer and you'll be golden.
we were told to ignore the waiver (contracts) for now.
i'm not sure if i can put on a good case...don't think i did too hot on my last paper...(i'm getting it back on Monday! eek!)
what does 75% retainer mean?
How you do on your paper? 75% retainer = 75% of your bill??? I'm assuming that's what it is, no?
