The Owings Family

Mostly musings about my family with some religious and law-related postings here and there.

Can you spot an attorney?

Friday, September 26, 2008

I watched the many, many people pouring into the courthouse this Friday motion morning, and I had my own bit of fun labeling them attorney, court reporter, or client. There's not really any other people heading into the courthouse at 9am on a Friday morning, and it's quite an entertaining game to play in your head. You should try it sometime.

Which leads me to my question, how do you know someone is an attorney just by looking at them?

I think that anyone in a black or gray suit within 3 blocks of the courthouse is automatically dubbed an attorney. It gets trickier the further away from the courthouse that you get. Funny thing is, that I've been asked whether I was an attorney at the Dollar Store and other various places I've frequented on my lunch break in East Memphis, nowhere near the courthouse. So, do you know how to spot an attorney? I'd love to hear your comments.

Just for fun, if you need some instruction in this area, you can try the Lawyer's Coloring Book.

If I heard someone talking I think I would be able to tell. But just by looking at you I would never know you were an attorney. I used to work in a courthouse in college in the Probation office. LOVED IT! Although I hated when all the freaks came in. I saw a lot of attorneys and freaks.
