hey so how come lawyers like so much PAPER?
sincerely, the person in the copy center who has to print all these goddamn binders
Man, it is the worst. I grew up file clerking for my dad and it was so terrible that I decided I would never be a lawyer. SO much paperwork. Ugh. Horrible.
But also, if you're in trial, you want all of the information in the entire case at your fingertips, and you want to know exactly where every piece of info is--which means that you have it hard copy, because a laptop can glitch or lag or crash but paper abides.
Also, in a lot of circumstances, you need a physical item in order to admit something as evidence, because the court physically marks it with a sticker label. So you print photos, documents...even for video files, you have it on a disc or USB that the court can put its little evidence sticker on. And then, depending on the type of trial, all that evidence may go with a jury into a jury room to look over, and you don't really want to give them a wholeass laptop, because that's just asking for improper non-evidence information to be considered.
And if you're feeling like a jackass when complying with discovery demands, you can give the requested information on physical paper and that's fulfilling the demand (unless it was specifically for digital format) but it's not searchable in the way that a PDF would be--you can't control+F for the info you want, you have to read through reams of paper. Which you should do, for thoroughness, but...it's time consuming. So you can play petty little games and give people hardcopy to make their lives marginally more difficult.
Ultimately though, lawyers just really love deforestation. Fuck them trees.

does Vincent Vinnie Vitch Bitch wear a watch or any other accessories (other than like the tie and glasses)? does he carry a bag? wallet in pocket? I need to know what he owns so I can rob him
you are so nice for protecting him without any ulterior motives! i am sure he will be so thankful
def carries a wallet. he usually wears a watch, but just a simple one that looks nice hes not a rolex nerd lol. he carries a bag over his shoulder on occasion but he usually doesnt really have anything he needs to carry besides occasional work stuff, so not all the time. type of guy to keep some minty chewing gum in his pocket too but really not much else
