On
Halloween,
we
wondered
what
our
readers
thought
would
scare
a
lawyer
the
most.
As
first
seen
on
Facebook’s
Shit
Women
With
Law
Degrees
Say,
there
are
some
phrases
that
will
make
lawyers
look
like
they’ve
seen
a
ghost.
But
which
phrases
are
the
scariest
of
all?
As
luck
would
have
it,
we’ve
got
a
contest
for
that.

These
are
some
of
the
very
best
submissions
we’ve
received
thus
far:
-
“I
need
it
Monday.” -
“We
destroyed
those
documents.” -
“Was
this
AI
generated?” -
“You
missed
the
hearing.” -
“Order
to
Show
Cause” -
“Your
fees
are
rejected.” -
“We’ll
waive
due
diligence.” -
“You
failed
the
bar.” -
“But
Google
said
that…” -
“President
Trump
retained
you.”
Think
you
can
do
better?
You
can
text

line:
“4
Words
to
Scare
a
Lawyer”),
or
tweet
us
with
four
words
that
will
really
scare
a
lawyer
by
SUNDAY,
NOVEMBER
3,
at
11:59
PM,
then
we’ll
vote
on
the
scariest
phrase
of
all.
Thanks!
