Transcriber: Eunice Tan Reviewer: Tanya Cushman | 0 | 6,876 | |
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 | 267,050 |
