The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

Well, Ed O'Eamonn O Brien, I'm not even sure I know what "knowing the law" means anymore. We can all know you shouldn't kill people, take their things through theft or fraud. But should we also know how to write a compelling brief, how to defend an important point viva voce, or that we can't build a birdhouse in some municipalities? And what do you do when you acquire this mystical enlightenment only to find out that those who have sworn to uphold these principals are colouring outside the lines?
