I very seldom let on that I have a law degree. Still remember one case where the lawyer for a big publishing house decided to go all arrogant on me over a dispute. Then I mentioned something like, ‘As a fellow legal expert specializing in IP I’m sure you can appreciate …’ in passing in an email. Boy did his tone change to a conciliatory one in the next email (since he knew his firm had dicked me around).
