The most consistently important languages for an American lawyer to master are English, Spanish, a little Latin, and the ability to convey “can you believe this fuckin moron” to judges and juries using only your eyebrows.
When I was on jury service, one of the barristers did this with very impressive moustache which he wiggled to great theatrical effect.
My sixteen year daughter just told us she wants to become a lawyer. She's already mastered this skill and uses it in every conversation.

TEACH ME the eyebrow thang. Please. I will pay millions. Please. <`-'> 🤨
