There's a family-owned restaurant in Morton Grove, Illinois,
| 6,876
| 10,117
|
|
called Burt's Place.
| 10,117
| 11,765
|
|
It's a pizza joint, but actually, more than that,
| 11,765
| 14,285
|
|
it's the place where you can get the best pan pizza,
| 14,285
| 17,950
|
|
certainly in the Chicagoland area, and I bet anywhere in the country.
| 17,950
| 21,236
|
|
The pizza's made by Burt Katz,
| 21,236
| 23,021
|
|
and it's served to you by Burt's wife, Sharon.
| 23,021
| 25,928
|
|
Now, let me tell you about a recent trip I made with my family to Burt's.
| 26,508
| 30,182
|
|
We walked in, seated right away,
| 30,182
| 33,332
|
|
were served antipasto salads that were phenomenal.
| 33,332
| 36,642
|
|
Just as we were finishing our salads,
| 36,642
| 38,634
|
|
the pizza arrives.
| 38,634
| 39,662
|
|
It's got this caramelized crust around, not too much cheese, the delicious sauce.
| 39,662
| 44,374
|
|
We ate the pizza, chatting with each other.
| 44,374
| 46,592
|
|
At one point, Sharon came over, served us some more pizza,
| 46,592
| 50,065
|
|
chatted with us for a while.
| 50,065
| 51,402
|
|
Compliments to the chef, pay the check, and leave happy.
| 51,402
| 54,836
|
|
That was our experience the last time at Burt's,
| 54,836
| 57,078
|
|
and that's always our experience at Burt's.
| 57,078
| 59,297
|
|
Well, now let me tell you
| 59,297
| 60,497
|
|
about some experiences I've seen other people have at Burt's.
| 60,497
| 64,754
|
|
I've seen a couple arrive to a restaurant that was basically empty
| 64,912
| 68,009
|
|
except for us and one other family
| 68,009
| 69,681
|
|
and be told they're going to have to wait two hours.
| 69,681
| 72,108
|
|
I saw someone scoffed at for trying to order an appetizer.
| 72,868
| 77,345
|
|
I saw someone scolded for serving themselves -
| 77,845
| 80,541
|
|
scalded, scolded -
| 80,541
| 82,204
|
|
they didn't scald themselves - maybe they did -
| 82,204
| 84,418
|
|
scolded for serving themselves another slice of pizza.
| 84,418
| 87,422
|
|
And I saw someone barked at sharply in a foreign language
| 87,422
| 91,162
|
|
for trying to pay their bill.
| 91,162
| 92,862
|
|
So, what?
| 93,422
| 94,415
|
|
Like how is it that we have these amazing experiences at Burt's
| 94,415
| 97,769
|
|
and other people have these awkward to terrible experiences at Burt's?
| 97,769
| 101,950
|
|
What's the difference?
| 101,950
| 103,005
|
|
I've thought about it a lot, and I've figured it out.
| 103,005
| 105,500
|
|
The difference is that I'm a lawyer,
| 105,500
| 107,475
|
|
and I think like a lawyer,
| 107,475
| 109,976
|
|
and these other people are non-lawyers,
| 109,976
| 111,839
|
|
who think the way normal people are supposed to think.
| 111,839
| 115,470
|
|
So what do I mean when I say "thinking like a lawyer"?
| 115,470
| 117,993
|
|
Well, before I went to law school,
| 117,993
| 120,281
|
|
I thought I had a pretty good idea about what it was to be a lawyer.
| 120,281
| 123,783
|
|
I mean, I'd seen "Matlock" and "L.A. Law,"
| 123,783
| 127,093
|
|
so I figured lawyers were super good-looking,
| 127,093
| 130,360
|
|
fierce advocates for their clients,
| 130,360
| 132,491
|
|
a little cool, maybe, on the personality scale,
| 132,491
| 135,108
|
|
and wore a ton of seersucker.
| 135,108
| 136,920
|
|
And if you watch any kind of lawyer shows today in pop culture -
| 136,920
| 140,845
|
|
"The Good Wife" or anything like that, "Suits" -
| 140,845
| 143,372
|
|
you probably think lawyers are even better looking
| 143,372
| 145,768
|
|
than I thought they were,
| 145,768
| 147,474
|
|
plus, again, this sort of cool professionalism,
| 148,074
| 150,303
|
|
maybe not so loyal in their personal relationships,
| 150,303
| 153,678
|
|
and fierce advocates for their clients.
| 153,678
| 155,537
|
|
Well, we all know
| 155,537
| 156,538
|
|
drawing lessons from pop culture about a profession is dangerous.
| 156,538
| 160,048
|
|
I watch "The Big Bang Theory,"
| 160,048
| 161,738
|
|
but I don't think that makes me an expert on physics or physicists.
| 161,738
| 164,878
|
|
I know what "bazinga" means, but that's about it.
| 164,878
| 167,549
|
|
(Laughter)
| 167,549
| 168,589
|
|
But there are some truths we see in pop culture about lawyers.
| 168,589
| 172,110
|
|
They're fierce advocates for their clients,
| 172,110
| 174,673
|
|
they are cool and professional,
| 174,673
| 176,892
|
|
and on a per capita basis,
| 176,892
| 178,603
|
|
definitely more seersucker than the average person in the population.
| 178,603
| 181,842
|
|
But there's more than that that makes a lawyer a lawyer.
| 182,613
| 185,608
|
|
What really makes a lawyer a lawyer
| 185,608
| 187,277
|
|
is that they approach problems and think like a lawyer.
| 187,277
| 190,045
|
|
So what do I mean by that?
| 190,045
| 191,688
|
|
Well, there's two kind of connected ideas.
| 191,688
| 193,688
|
|
One is lawyers study rules obsessively.
| 193,688
| 197,614
|
|
Those rules might come from, let's say,
| 197,614
| 199,668
|
|
the criminal code that says it's a crime to steal,
| 199,668
| 202,012
|
|
or they may come from a contract like online terms and conditions -
| 202,012
| 206,462
|
|
and even lawyers just usually click "I agree" -
| 206,462
| 208,794
|
|
or might come from the United States Constitution.
| 209,614
| 211,955
|
|
But in any event, lawyers study obsessively rules.
| 211,955
| 216,186
|
|
We try to understand them in all their nuance,
| 216,186
| 218,403
|
|
and that allows us to avoid the kinds of intuitive thinking
| 218,403
| 221,492
|
|
that are so helpful in normal life.
| 221,492
| 223,621
|
|
But in legal life, you need to understand and obsess over those rules.
| 223,621
| 227,407
|
|
That's the first thing lawyers do.
| 227,407
| 229,057
|
|
But the second, interconnected thing
| 229,057
| 230,785
|
|
is that we then help our clients to navigate those rules
| 230,785
| 234,555
|
|
to accomplish their goals.
| 234,555
| 235,867
|
|
So there are three primary ways
| 236,327
| 238,275
|
|
that lawyers help their clients sort of work with rules.
| 238,275
| 241,339
|
|
I'll explain those to you today,
| 241,339
| 242,915
|
|
and then I'll show you
| 242,915
| 243,979
|
|
how you can use those in your everyday life.
| 243,979
| 246,444
|
|
The first thing that lawyers do
| 246,716
| 248,382
|
|
once they have a comprehension of the rules
| 248,382
| 250,806
|
|
is they help their clients navigate through,
| 250,806
| 253,198
|
|
they guide their clients through the rules.
| 253,198
| 255,593
|
|
Not like a tour guide who says,
| 255,593
| 257,284
|
|
"Oh, this is the arch, this is the rock."
| 257,284
| 259,600
|
|
I mean like a mountaineering guide,
| 259,600
| 262,802
|
|
who takes you through a treacherous pass with lots of ways to make a false step,
| 262,802
