It just dawned on me that we don't have any SBF members who are lawyers.

Anyone know any lawyers on SBF?

@Claire

How are you? Hope you are keeping well. I also hope your friend has been doing well as well.

I wish you would contribute more here and share a legal perspective to things? I think that aspect is lacking in this forum.
This wild, wild west forum has no room for legalities.

Personally, I feel that life as a doctor is much better than a lawyer. For doctors, the initial years may be tough, but once they become specialist in their respective fields, it'll be much easier and the earnings are good.
For lawyers, it's shit life all the way. Especially for small firms. A typical day is spend attending court (we're not even talking about trials but mediations, pre-trial conferences, various court applications etc.), preparing for cases, writing emails and correspondences, interviewing clients etc. I know cos I deal with lawyers a lot because of my company's matters. They're slogging away like a dog. One simple average criminal case they'll charge about $2,500 to $3,000. An eye specialist can easily earn that in 10 mins by performing a lasik. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. The key is how to maximize our earnings in the shortest time possible and also to make money while we're kooning and shitting and eating. I have many lawyer friends who are bald, fat, haggard and with ill health after more than 2 decades of practice. It's not worth it. Look at our Porcaputtana. He has so much time to come to this forum to brag about his pro-vaxxed views. Can a lawyer do so?

Aiyah dr also got many types lah.

Family doctors and GPs usually slog away like your lawyers.

Also those surgeons do have to put in the hours of work too.

Only maybe those specialists in hospital got lots of underlings to do their bidding. Especially in internal medicine, non procedural medicine type specialties.

Anyway this type of discussing will never end one lah. One say the other guy job better the other guy say the other guy job better. LOL!

Imuho it is pointless to have a lawyer in sbf becas laws are all already written and pointless to seek leecomendations from them becas the outcome will still be leecided by the judge. Hence what sbf need is a judge .

Man acquitted in $5-million Alberta-U.S. cocaine trafficking case​

A truck driver at the centre of a $5-million cocaine seizure at Alberta’s Coutts border crossing in 2016 has been acquitted of drug trafficking charges because there was reasonable doubt as to whether he knew about the drugs, a court has found.
Parmjeet Singh Sandhu of Ontario and Jasmail Singh Sander of British Columbia were both charged with drug trafficking after border officers discovered 83 one-kilogram packages of cocaine stashed in various locations around a semi-truck including behind a microwave, in a duffel bag, under a mattress and inside the truck’s two jockey boxes

Another 17 one-kilogram packages that were missed by border officers and a drug dog in the initial search were discovered by the truck’s owner when he had the vehicle serviced after it was returned from impound.

In a written statement released Friday, Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench Justice William Tilleman said that even though Sandhu’s evidence was “imperfect,” the Crown’s case suggesting Sandhu knew of the drugs was based “entirely on circumstantial evidence of possession.”
The Crown conceded the drugs were not stored in plain view and that there was “no direct evidence of where the drugs came from, who put them there, how, in what state or country, or when.” There was no DNA or fingerprints found on the packages.

Sandhu testified through an interpreter at trial that he was not aware there were drugs in the truck and that he and Sander never discussed drugs.

The 32-year-old junior relief driver said he never saw or touched any cocaine in the tractor and he never saw the packages being placed in the tractor at any point during the October trip to the United States.

The pair had come to the attention of border security after Sander, who was the driver, was flagged in their system “ for suspected involvement in drug trafficking.”


Charges against Sander were stayed after he died in June.

Sandhu, who was 22 years younger than his co-accused, was new to Canada, spoke little to no English and was new to the long-haul truck driving job. He had been employed for just five months with the trucking company and the pair had known each other for about one month before they were assigned to drive together to transport fish from Vancouver to California.

Tilleman wrote that Sandhu’s evidence, “when considered in the context of all of the evidence in this trial, is sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt about whether he knew or was wilfully blind to the presence of controlled substances in the tractor.”

Sandhu was acquitted of the possession for the purposes of trafficking charge and of importing drugs into Canada.

I asked you about that. But you said a lot of competition nowadays.

Yeah it isn't as easy to gain a foothold anymore. Back in 1999 it was a walk in the park. However if you can get established there isn't much work once you get going.

Just 2 hours of work a day earned USD30,000 revenue a month.
