Although I have half-seriously considered drafting an employment application in the form of discovery requests, this Request for a First Interview is just slightly too cute for its own good.
If anyone ever came into my office, claiming that they were "utterly unconcerned with having any sort of personal life outside of the office" I would consider that candidate absolutely disqualified, for multiple reasons.
First, about 80% of my client base, with revenues commensurate, comes directly or indirectly from activities which are part of my "personal life."
Second, someone who has so little perspective on life is guaranteed to be a bad lawyer. There's no balance, no roots in reality. Without those, you can't function at work for very long. I know one attorney who literally ended up institutionalized as a result of the same kind of attitude.
This guy is awfully clever, but doesn't have much yet in the way of judgment or life experience.
Upon consideration of Plaintiff's Request, it is hereby DENIED.
