There's been a lot of doom and gloom lately about the state of the legal market, the number of jobs available (or not available), and so forth. Well, the good news is that experts are saying that an uptick is just around the corner!

Unfortunately, they are UFO experts:

Over the period of the 60 year old cover up of extraterrestrial reality the entrenched special interests have operated outside of the law…. Today as UFO/ET disclosure quickens the rule of law and constitutional authority is bound to return to cover extraterrestrial reality. It will proceed at first slowly then will come on with a vengeance as large trial lawyer firms realize the billions and perhaps trillions of dollars to be [made] as the lawsuits begin to fly.

Trillions of dollars! You have my attention, sir. What exactly will be the focus of this development?

As the UFO/ET cover up ends many of the largest international corporations and perhaps even nations will become vulnerable to prosecution and lawsuits. Those national and multinational corporations that have cooperated with unconstitutional and illegal government activities in the suppression and secret exploitation of extraterrestrial reality will become highly vulnerable to not only citizen outrage but to criminal and civil lawsuits.

Say, we represent some national and multinational corporations that might be wrongly accused of such cooperation. What name(s) should I start pre-writing on all these billing sheets?

I expect we will soon see many big name international corporations involved in fossil fuels, defense and aerospace, transportation, electronic and computer industries seeking relief from lawsuits while corporations and private citizens seek redress of grievances. The trial lawyers will make huge sums of money but the past falsification of patents will certainly make many patent lawyers and their firms very rich as well.

Yes, yes, but which big-name intern— wait a minute. What's all this about patents? Well, never mind—we have patent lawyers too. Okay, if you can't give me names, can you tell me when this is going to happen?

Hopefully at some point soon—

Okay, now you're starting to piss me off.

Hopefully at some point soon, some very large powerful legal firms could become involved in disclosure out of self interest. The huge amounts of profit to be made through lawsuits and protection from lawsuits should be great enough of an inducement to cause the law firms to break rank from the rest of the pack. When the litigation begins that will sound the death knell for the UFO/ET cover up.

This is not what you promised in that first paragraph, my friend. You remember, the one with the words "today" and "trillions" in it? A lot of us need more business now and can't really afford to wait until Skadden decides the jig is up on the whole alien invasion thing.

Also, aren't you that consultant who spoke at our retreat a couple of years ago? The one with the little tiny font on all your PowerPoint slides?

Those nations, companies, and citizens that have prepared themselves for possible catastrophic economic instability and renewal after UFO/ET disclosure will be able to take advantage of new opportunities. These will flourish in such a time of upheaval while those that continue to remain brainwashed will suffer greatly. I am placing my bets on the lawyers and the legal profession coming out on top of the whole mess.

Okay, just stop. I could at least have billed another $250 during the time I spent listening to you.

To the extent it matters, I notice that the same guy made pretty much the same prediction in 2008. Of course, he didn't say exactly when it would come true, so he's not wrong yet.
