I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous. Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth. This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

@@Jartran72 Alligators generally don't stray too far from water and also they are only in two locations, Florida Everglades and China. They are opportunistic feeders and are unlikely to attack unless provoked in some way (or starving). Crocodiles are more aggressive and more widespread. Alligators have U-shaped mouths while crocodiles' are more V-shaped, and when an alligator closes its mouth you can only see its top teeth, whereas with a crocodile you see both rows. Also, alligators are freshwater, crocodiles are saltwater.

@tomboedeker8479 3 года назад

@@Hairysteed bsv103 is 100% correct, pique, not 'peek' and also not 'peak.' This is a VERY common usage error among native English speakers, including the highly educated, so it is completely excusable for you to have made this error. (Pique = verb meaning 'to cause a state of intellectual or emotional arousal.' Often a state of annoyance, in this case a state of curiosity. Peek = noun meaning 'A quick look at something.' A sneak-peek at an upcoming video game, or the game of peek-a-boo with an infant. Peak =noun 'Summit or highest point' such as a mountain-top or on a graph; valley or trough is the opposite. Sometimes used as a verb like 'the economy peaked in the second quarter of 2019.')

@Rystefn 3 года назад

Yeah, it's 100% pique, not peek, or peak, but it's no biggie. De-Frenchifying French loanwords is a tradition as old as English. Fun fact: it's basically the same word as "pick." So we already swapped vowel sounds on it anyway.
