Topic: Any Lawyers/Screenwriters on this site?

Author: Marc Greenberg Posted: 03/02/02 03:49 PM

I'm looking to collaborate with someone on an idea that I have that requires some legal background. Honestly, I don't have the time to do the research myself.

I have a pretty solid track record for writing good scripts (just not selling them).

Any screenwriter with legal knowledge who's interested in a collab - email me!

With the hatred of lawyers out there, would one eagerly admit to it?

Q How does a lawyer fall asleep?

A First he lies on one side, then he lies on the other.

Allen, I haven't heard that one, although someone gave me a whole book of lawyer jokes. It's probably in there. I think I'm going to start telling doctor jokes. Most of them make more money than most of us anyway.

Seriously, Marc, I've been a practicing attorney for nine years and been writing a lot longer than that. I just don't have the time right now to take on anything new. I've got a script out to a prodco and trying to hammer out a new one ASAP. Best wishes.
