Better Call Saul: Ketika Seorang Pengacara Harus Memilih Antara Cerdas dan Benar

Ada alasan mengapa   Better Call Saul  begitu menarik bagi orang yang bekerja di dunia hukum. Serial ini memang bercerita tentang Jimmy McGill yang kemudian dikenal sebagai Saul Goodman, tetapi kalau kita melihatnya dari sisi profesi advokat, ceritanya bukan sekadar tentang pengacara yang melakukan hal-hal kontroversial. Justru ada banyak pelajaran positif yang bisa diambil. Tentu saja, bukan berarti kita harus meniru Saul Goodman. Sebaliknya, serial ini memperlihatkan bagaimana kemampuan seorang pengacara bisa menjadi kekuatan besar ketika digunakan dengan benar dan bisa menjadi bumerang ketika tidak lagi dikendalikan oleh etika. Pengacara harus pandai membaca manusia Jimmy punya satu kemampuan yang luar biasa: dia bisa membaca orang. Dia tahu kapan seseorang sedang takut, kapan sedang marah, kapan membutuhkan kepastian, dan kapan sebenarnya hanya ingin didengarkan. Dalam praktik hukum, kemampuan seperti ini sangat penting.

From Paris with Law: My Eiffel Tower Story

 I've always wanted to visit Paris, and like most travelers, I knew that no trip would be complete without standing under the Eiffel Tower. When I got to Champ de Mars, the weather was perfect—blue skies, a light breeze, and the hum of excited tourists all around me.

While I was enjoying the energy of Paris, I also thought about history, especially the world after World War II. As a lawyer, I can't help but see co...

My trip to the Leaning Tower of Pisa

As a lawyer, most of my days are filled with structured arguments, case files, and long hours in the office. But on my recent trip to Italy, I decided to step away from the courtroom for a bit and soak up all the history, culture, and just the sheer wonder of travel. One of the highlights of my trip was standing in front of the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. When I got to Pisa, I was pretty excited. The city itself has a chill vibe, with narrow cobbled streets, small cafes, and an atmosphere that immediately reminded me that Italy is as much about slowing down as it is about history. When I got to the Piazza dei Miracoli, the first sight of the tower was almost surreal. I'd seen a ton of pictures, but seeing it in person was a whole different experience. The white marble popped against the blue sky, and its slight tilt made it look almost delicate, like gravity itself had been defied. As I got closer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture—rows of elegant arches stack...
