My Pre-Lawyering Bucketlist

-

I have this list of things, kind of a 'bucketlist before I become a lawyer' to do list.

1. I need to be financially stable before I become a lawyer.

I do not know what is more depressing, is it studying law with little finances or being a lawyer already and trading all your to time to earn more. Being a law student and working all at the same time, I would often end up working instead and putting law school on hold for a semester or two.  In the same manner, I think that if you really want to enjoy the practice as a lawyer, money should not be the prime driving force.

2.  I need to have an established business before I become a lawyer.

I have this picture of how lawyer's life can be so busy and toxic and  how it's gonna be work, work, work, so if I have dreams of putting up my own business of whatever nature then I better have it up and running before I become a lawyer.


3. I need to have accumulated a sufficient amount of capital to start my own firm.

I know this one sounds really crazy but I have this vision that if I have enough capital by the time I pass the bar, I can start a law firm. lol  As they say, dream big, because dreaming is free! Of course you need capital to do that.

4.  I need to be in my ideal fitness state before I become a lawyer

Lawyering is stressful in itself and if you do not put effort to be fit I do not think it would be easier once you become a lawyer.  Being fit right now is already hard, I cannot imagine how to have time to go to the gym and work 16 hours of labor being a lawyer.  I ain't having that kind of life.

5. I need to travel to as many places as I can before I become a lawyer.

Let's face it, being a lawyer can be really time-draining and the only time you can get a long vacation would be holidays.

I know, my list is out there but that's just me. Do you have anything like this if at all?  Show some love and leave your comments and reactions below.

I mportant documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, CENOMAR or certificate of no marriage, and death certificates can be obtained at the Philippine Statistics Office (PSA) satellite offices nationwide.  For faster transactions, the same documents may also be obtained online via PSA Serbilis website . However, take note that only authorized persons can request it even online. This will be the best option if one simply does not have the time to physically obtain it from a PSA center.  For those who opt to request their birth certificates and other documents in person, and since some people are unavailable or too busy to pick up these document themselves, they need to authorize someone to pick up the same. Here is a sample authorization letter to pick up any of such documents from the  Philippine Statistics Office (PSA). Use a Arial or Times New Roman 12 font for easier readability. Print on a letter size bond, while the use of envelopes are optional...

Molo v. Molo Digest

Molo vs. Molo G.R. No. L-2538 September 21, 1951 Bautista Angelo, J. (Ponente) Doctrine of Dependent Relative Revocation Facts: 1. Marcos Molo executed 2 wills, one in August 1918 and another in June 1939 . The latter will contained a revocation clause which expressly revoked the will in 1918. He died without any forced heirs but he was survived by his wife, herein petitioner Juana. The oppositors to the probate were his nephews and nieces. 2. Only a carbon copy of the second will was found. The widow filed a petition for the probate of the 1939 will. It was admitted to probate but subsequently set aside on ground that the petitioner failed to prove its due execution.  3. As a result, the petitioner filed another petition for the probate of the 1918 will this time. Again the oppositors alleged that said will had already been revoked under the 1939 will. They contended that despite the disallowance of the 1939 will, the revocation clause is valid and thus effec...
