Now that overwhelms me, completely overwhelms me. Not because you quoted the statement but because of that attitude still prevails.

Sneering at people just because they don’t know something is inexcusable, particularly from a profession that is allegedly extremely well educated.

I’ve always been taught that if I do not know something then ask someone who does. Sadly over the years I have fallen victim to such an attitude many times. Because I dared to ask a question. I guess that it was a childish attempt by someone to show how superior they were to me.

I thought that such an attitude had died out in the modern ages but to find it alive and kicking in the legal profession is astounding.

Psssst! Magazine is spelled with a z not an s. But then it could have been a typo seeing as the z and s keys are adjacent to each other. However the real point is, that as a prospective lawyer you really should check your post before posting it, if you want to make a good impression.
Naughty, naughty JB if we all had to be word perfect on here there wouldn't be to many people posting, I know I'd be knackered
