Neither was chosen. ;-) It seemed to me the easiest way - without really lying a bunch - was to find a way that you could claim to be impartial. Of course, <em>that</em> would be lying in and of itself, but at least you wouldn't be lying about having taken law classes or something. I've also heard that simply having a job that requires some intelligence is no good. They want people who are easily led and don't tend to think for themselves.

Claim to be a lawyer or someone who has had extensive experience with the law.... police officer, security guard, etc.... heck even claiming to have taken several legal studies classes in college.
