We are now watching Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spinoff. I resisted the idea of watching this show for a while because I liked neither the character of Saul nor the story line in the original show, but Better Call Saul is proving to be very good.
What I especially like is the unglamorous depiction of lawyering. My students think that nothing can be better than becoming a lawyer and don’t believe me when I tell them that chic offices in Manhattan skyscrapers filled with fashionably dressed, leisurely individuals they see on TV are not what lawyering is like for most people in the profession.
I dream of a world where African academics are rich and American lawyers are poor.
