I have noticed that HOH Law Corporation is everywhere. For the unacquainted, this is a law firm that provides "affordable legal services to the masses." They have offices where you least expect it, like near Desker Road, in Little India, which is a hangout for hookers. (Desker road, I mean, not little India, which is generally a really cultural neighbourhood).
Of course, I checked their rates, which were not as low as one would have imagined.
If no one wants to hire me after I graduate, I think I'll provide budget law services. By setting up a firm that:
- hires barely competent lawyers so we wont' have to pay them so much.
- Uses neighbourhood shops that close by 6 pm as office space and operates from 8pm to 12 midnight, so people don't need to travel down to town, don't need to take leave from work to see us, don't need to dress up to see us.
- handles standard work like non contentious divorce for a standard fee. Complex work will be farmed out to full service law firms at normal rates, with a 15% cut to us for bringing the business to them.
- pre -records standard legal advice on issues like divorce, downloadable in mp3 format so the lawyers won't have to give so much advice in person. Everyone has mp3 players right? Or else we'll have them in cassette form too, and charge a refundable deposit of 50 bucks for each rental.
- hires flyer distributors earning 4.50 per hour and pays them 4.55 per hour as reception personnel.
- does not have money to give lawyers a clothing allowance but allows lawyers to wear whatever shoddy gear they want, including flip flops.
- has excellent discount schemes. e.g. you want to get divorced, you bring a couple of people who also want to get divorced, the advice is directed at 5 people at a time, you pay half price.

haha you can hire me! it sounds like a brilliant idea! but hmm, the sociologist education in me is screaming, "no cheap divorce advice! it will be an incentive for cheapskate singaporeans to mass-divorce their spouses in order to save money!"
Lol. Then you need to get just slightly above third class honours.
Can't afford to pay your current firm's rates!
the concept coined in lesvos? heh
