apparently, because i’m not qualified yet, giving legal advice to people is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

that’s great excuse!

now everytime anyone asks me to go over some contract or do something vaguely legal or give them a legal opinion, i can say

’sorry, i’d like to help but it’d be a criminal offence for me to tell you anything, and i’m sure you wouldn’t want to be guilty of conspiracy to commit a criminal offence now, would you?’

or

‘if i tell you, i’d have to kill you, because either way it’s a crime.’

sometimes professional development and conduct lectures can be so crap. but other times, they actually impart useful and practical knowledge.
