It's Friday, Let's talk 🤭😜.

What’s the funniest or most unrealistic thing your family or friends have asked you to do since you told them you’re studying (or studied) law? 😅

Drop your stories below 👇 - let’s laugh (or cry) together about the expectations vs reality of being the “law person” in the family! ⚖️😂
