Is it really? Hahahaha I actually know nothing about law. It's fun to pretend though. I think lawyers and musicians fulfill starkly different roles. But, perhaps there can be some form of... hybrid species...
Some musicians who are well-versed in law do self-represent in court, so it's not unheard of.
Ahhh... you're totally right actually. There's so much red tape in the music industry I suppose knowing a bit of law can be extremely beneficial at times.
With what I've studied (I trained to be a solicitor), I cannot self-represent: I can certainly do my own case research, bundles, paperwork, form-filling and correspondences, which is what solicitors do, but for the actual court cases, I'm going to need a barrister -- the person who fights in court.
The two are separate professions here in England, and have remained separate since... well, for centuries. But I suppose not everything's within my reach.
On a lighter note, let's be friends. I'll take a listen to some songs you've put up, and see what I may glean from them.
I see--although I've never heard of separating those roles, I suppose those two jobs require very different skills so I can see why that would be the case in England. That's a shame you can't self-represent though.
And sure, I'm down! Thank you sir. I appreciate it.
That's "ma'am", if you please. :P But no harm done!
Oops haha my mistake! Well thank you very much, ma'am.

That's all well and good, but you didn't answer the question!

The answer is there, young champion. You must but only believe in the pertinence of the question, and the answer will suddenly unveil itself to you in a shower of fiery litigation.
