Thank you for your letter


I picked this up in the trivia section of LA LAW

Series co-creator Terry Louise Fisher, former deputy district attorney for
Los Angeles County, former entertainment lawyer for 20th Century Fox, and
producer-writer for "Cagney & Lacey" (1982) , composed a form letter she
was thinking of sending to lawyers who complained about the show: "Dear
So-and-so: If I were a good lawyer, I'd still be practicing law. Instead,
I'm stuck in Hollywood, making 10 times as much money. I hope you are as
conscientious about your clients as you are about our show. Thank for your
writing."

Lawyers never enjoy themselves more than when they are disagreeing with people
and particularly each other.
It is a variation of one of Raymond Chandlers quotes about when he went to Hollywood

If my books had been any worse, I should not have
been invited to Hollywood, and if they had been any better,I should
not have come.



Raymond Chandler

Raymond Chandler did not have agood time in Hollywood but he wrote some great stuff there and it made him famous.

Raymond Chandler was notorious for his intense dislike of Alfred Hitchcock, whom he
often referred to as "that fat bastard" (typically within hearing distance of Hitchcock.) [1]

I found some more legal topics that could be developed as story lines

14 Claiming asylum
15 Neighbours
16 Pension fraud
17 Estate agents problems with
18 Problems with the elderly
19 Asylum seekers in front a a tribunal.
