The UPLC is not charged with recovering money for persons who file a UPL complaint. If a lawsuit is filed, the UPLC will not seek to recover money for you. The UPLC seeks in its lawsuits to enjoin the unauthorized practice of law in the future. Sometimes as a result of a UPL investigation, the complaint is resolved by an agreement with the respondent that includes restitution to the complaining person. However, the UPLC cannot promise such a result.

One of the biggest reasons people go to law school is "because you can do so many things with a law degree". For most of these people, this translates as "I really don't know what to do with my life, and going to law school will postpone that decision for at least three years." Frankly, we couldn't think of a worse reason to go to law school, or become a lawyer. If your goal in life is to do something other than practice law, go ahead and do that something.

The death of the "solo practitioner", like that of Mark Twain, is greatly exaggerated. Thanks to the personal computer, e-mail and the Internet, solo law practices are thriving as never before. A solo practice can give you the freedom to manage your time, as you are no longer accountable to other lawyers and there are no "minimum quotas" for billable hours. You can work when you like, as long as you like. Depending on the type of practice, you may be able to do business from a home office.

Beginners (and advanced students for that matter) should establish a regular and consistent training schedule in order to learn techniques efficiently and not develop too many bad habits. In general, the more you train the faster you'll learn. Three times a week is a reasonable target for beginners to aspire to. Two times a week is OK, but learning is slower. Progress is very slow and bad habits become rampant at practice levels below two times per week.

Some people suggest taking this all in order. In real life, you pretty much HAVE to do them in order because if you can't hover, you can't take off or land without killing your helicopter or your spectators. In the sim you can do anything safely! Work on hovering, and when that gets frustrating, work on flying around. When that gets frustrating, work on hovering some more.
