Richard Meirowitz | 7 qualities every good lawyer should have

The skills you need for your ideal career are something that you can work on and develop over time. As they say: practice makes perfect! Here are a few that you should consider working on if you aspire to be a successful lawyer:

1) Good communication skills

Lawyers must be orally articulate, have good written communication skills and also be good listeners. In order to argue convincingly in the courtroom before juries and judges, good public speaking skills are essential. Communication and speaking skills can be developed during your studies by taking part in activities such as mooting or general public speaking.
Lawyers must also be able to write clearly, persuasively and concisely, as they must produce a variety of legal documents.
But it’s not all about projection. To be able to analyse what clients tell them or follow a complex testimony, a lawyer must have good listening skills.

2) Judgement 

The ability to draw reasonable, logical conclusions or assumptions from limited information is essential as a lawyer.
You must also be able to consider these judgements critically, so that you can anticipate potential areas of weakness in your argument that must be fortified against.
Similarly, you must be able to spot points of weakness in an oppositions argument. Decisiveness is also a part of judgement. There will be a lot of important judgement calls to make and little time for sitting on the fence.

3) Analytical skills

Both the study and practice of law involve absorbing large quantities of information, then having to distil it into something manageable and logical.
At times, there will be more than one reasonable conclusion, or more than one precedent applicable to resolving a situation.
A lawyer must therefore have the evaluative skills in order to choose which is the most suitable.

4) Research skills

Similarly, being able to research quickly and effectively is essential to understanding your clients, their needs, and to preparing legal strategies.
Preparing legal strategies requires absorbing and comprehending large amounts of information, then distilling them down into something manageable and useful.

5) People skills

Law is not an abstract practice. Irrelevant of how well someone does academically, at the end of the day lawyers work with people, on behalf of people, and the decisions that are made effect peoples’ lives.
They must be personable, persuasive and able to read others. This allows them to gauge juror’s reactions and the honesty of witnesses.
This allows them to decide upon the best approach to take in order to achieve the desired outcome: either clients taking their advice or reaching a favourable negotiation with the opposition. Read More.........

In a student-led interview at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Preet Bharara discusses the importance of considering ethics and integrity in business. “I don’t come here to lecture about the issues of morality,” Bharara says, “but these are issues of risk and relates to cost benefit issues.” Bharara is the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and directs the investigation and litigation of cases brought on behalf of the United States.

Richard Warren Meirowitz | Busted: Former U S Attorney General Does Not Believe FBI Director James...

Former U.S. Attorney for the State of Texas, Congressman John Ratcliffe, who has extensive experience PROSECUTING Federal Offenses, including International and Domestic Terrorism, Illegal Immigration, Drug Trafficking, and PUBLIC CORRUPTION, calls out FBI Director James Comey on his version of why he allowed Cheryl Mills to be present during the interview of Hillary Clinton, as well as his overall decision NOT to Prosecute the former Secretary of State.

Today, the House Judiciary Committee will hear from Director James Comey on the challenges facing the FBI and how the FBI is addressing them. From San Bernardino to Orlando to the most recent terrorist attacks in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota, the United States has experienced a rise in radical Islamic terrorism and we must ensure that the FBI has the resources needed for its counterterrorism efforts in order to thwart these heinous plots and protect Americans from harm.

“Additionally, many members of the House Judiciary Committee continue to have unanswered questions about the FBI’s investigation, Director Comey’s public statements on the matter, and the Justice Department’s decision to not prosecute Secretary Clinton for mishandling classified information through private email servers. It defies logic and the law that she faces no consequences for jeopardizing national security. It also appears that Secretary Clinton may have perjured herself and made false statements to Congress under oath. I’ve called on the Justice Department to investigate her for perjury and am interested to hear from Director Comey on the matter.”

Richard Meirowitz | How To Survive Martial Law

Forecasters, analysts, and billionaire investors are now saying that it is not a matter of if, but when, the USA will be hit with the full force of the worst economic depression in its history. This Second Great Depression is expected to be far more severe and prolonged than the long, horrible, and tragic Great Depression of the 1930's.

Is your home paid off? How secure is your job? If you lost your house or apartment tomorrow, where would you go?

Traditional "prepping" philosophies tend to focus on escaping to a prepared retreat in the countryside. However, most American middle class families, even those who still have jobs, are only three or fewer missing paychecks away from financial disaster and they simply cannot afford a fixed location, rural retreat.

Prolonged unemployment has already found many former middle class families impoverished, unprepared, and living without adequate shelter and other necessities of life in one of the growing number of makeshift tent cities, or even in their cars. The need for a long-term plan to survive and keep your family intact during a massive financial crisis is stronger than ever.

PREPPING FOR THE REST OF US

This exhaustive and comprehensive work uses facts, history, and actual events as a guide to show you what to expect, and how any average family, even with a modest income, can meet these challenges in a timely manner. With a few basic preparations and some planning done now, while you still have time, anyone of any income level can weather the coming crisis. This can position you to survive, adapt, and thrive in the face of whatever the future holds.

Locusts on the Horizon is much more than simply another 'store food and ammo' prepper book. This book is built around the concept of MASH (Mobile Adaptable Sustainable Homestead). The concept of the US Army's MASH units, essentially a portable town, has been scaled down to that of a single family portable homestead which fulfills the requirements of SEMS (Six Elements of Modern Survival).

We feel that the hour is late and the need is great, so 'Locusts on the Horizon' is made available for the price of only about two or three candy bars at a supermarket checkout. This book is over 247,000 words, and printed out it would be over 1,187 pages. We offer it for a small fraction of what a book this size would normally sell for because we feel so many families are vulnerable to what is coming.

'Locusts on the Horizon' can be read with free reader software from Amazon on any PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Windows Phone, and Blackberry. It can also be read online through any browser via Amazon's Kindle Cloud.
