failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted

How many of these 15 very specific law struggles have you experienced

[ ] spending way too long looking for the fucking section symbol on Word

[ ] struggling with saying "certiorari"

[ ] struggling with saying "demurrer"

[ ] momentarily forgetting "Your Honor" and thinking, "Your Majesty...?"

[ ] having to politely sit through someone try to trick you into giving them legal advice

[ ] misspelling judgment ("judgement")

[ ] having a discourse about one or two spaces after the period

[ ] getting plaintiff and defendant flipped

[ ] not knowing what a case you've been reading is actually about because the opinion is focused on some procedural issue

[ ] copying the auto-formulated citation, not liking it, and "fixing" it

[ ] not knowing how to address judges in a social setting so just avoiding addressing them at all

[ ] getting googled info from some other law firm's website and feeling like a thief and a fraud

[ ] re-reading your emails from the Sent folder and noticing mistakes and struggling with whether to send a correction

[ ] writing "statute" when you actually meant statue

[ ] wrongly "correcting" someone who says "statue" when they did mean statue
