Offering Legal Representation?

I have found the effort extremely lengthy... Basic steps I've been following: Focus on one Sim as a time ('cause those suckers run away while you're talking); As you pointed out, build relationship; then, get to know actions, keep at the personal (not just "friendly") interactions, then attempt Offer Legal Representation. I keep them in conversation until the Offer succeeds.

you have to get 3-4 I believe to complete the task.

Oh, so I guess it was a good idea for my Sim to ask to represent his Artist wife and their Rock Star son if he could represent them. Next, he can ask their Archaeologist daughter and then their aspiring physician son, too. :open_mouth: That makes the family sound as if its in serious trouble. LOL

Ugh - and then do it all again the next day? I do everything I can to avoid having my Sims meet other Sims, since it generates constant cell-phone harassment.

You can always skip the Daily Task. Promotions might take a little longer to earn but you'll still get them if you're doing everything else right.

If you don't mind cheating and have parenthood pack. Give your sims the responsible trait, the daily task is always completed.

@TheFlyingGentleman is that so? A lot of my career daily tasks are always completed without me doing much of anything and I’ve always wondered why. I guess now I know!

So, my Sim worked from home for a couple of days and got better choices and is now a judge. Only, her work from home (I'm not sure how a judge works from home, but never mind) includes giving a 'guest lecture to a law class at the university'.

This should be available by phone or by clicking on a classroom at one of the universities, but I've only got the option to 'sit in on a law class' (or something like that). I did that, but it did not fulfill the job requirement. She has an '8' in charisma skill and '10' in logic and in research, and I did travel to the university to see if I got the option there, but it's the same: I get 'sit in on a law class', not 'give a guest lecture' when I click on the classroom. I'm thinking this one might actually be a bug?

Her regular 'homework' (when she goes to work) is to 'make rulings', which seems rather capricious - no jury trial? The judge decides whether these people are guilty or not? With no evidence presented? (I gave a pass to the Sim who knocked over a vending machine that failed to vend but sent up the kids printing counterfeit money and running the internet scam.) Do our rulings matter for job advancement?

Editing to add: Solved. The ability to give a 'guest lecture' is a perk that comes with the next promotion. So, it is a bug that it's a potential 'work at home' assignment at the first level of the judge branch, but the ability to do it isn't available until you get to the next level.

Selecting get to know then offer legal representation works about 40 percent of the time

My sim tried 5 times and got a yes all 5 times but he was only at 25%. And it took most of the night and his needs in the red zone. This is not possible, even if he keeps getting yes. At 3 it was 25% so it would take 12 yes's at that rate.
