[QUOTE="Valen, post: 370581, member: 4394"] I'm a lawyer, too. I currently live in the Bay Area and I'm awaiting the CA bar results, but I have been licensed in PA since 1999 (my wife got a job out here that was simply too great to pass up). I spent my summer studying for the CA bar and now I am sending out resumes to temp agencies (though most say, "call us back when you get a license"). Its not so bad; I have more time to do some writing and gaming and now, unlike when I practiced, I'm home at the same time my wife is. I really miss practicing law and the challenges the profession provides. Hopefully, after the results come out in November, it won't take me too long to find a job. I mention the above, because I have found an outlet for my "pent up" desire to resume the practice of law. Soon, I will not be the only one who has suffered due to my "legal withdrawal". I'm putting the finishing touches on an adventure for my regular group that requires the players to perform legal research, argue positions and overcome legal scenarios based on actual common law. The villain's profession? An attorney. The source of his evil power? See profession (just kidding.) Race? Why yuan-ti, of course. I figured, if I had to wrestle with arcane definitions of burglary ("the dwelling of another and only at night") and the rule against perpetuities, then so must my players! Bwahahahahahahaha... ahem. Unfortunately, the road to legal knowledge is a difficult one, and I have to wait until the players have gained a few more levels before I can unleash the adventure upon them. :D [/QUOTE]
