    No I don't think so. He's much closer to being cured now. When he saw he was outside the intensity of the sounds he heard were far less than the last time he ventured out.

    Maybe if he legally changes his name, he submits a request to UAS to send him a revised certificate with his new legal name.

    Can't imagine it'll take that much explaining, or that it really needs explaining at all.

    I'm guessing to change name he'll have to show proof of it legally first and his reasons for changing it?

    Am I the only one here who thinks Chuck's illness is completely in his mind, as opposed to it being an actual illness

    Like in the episode where Jimmy leaves his old boxes in Chuck's house, I thought there was a few old phones or something in it to try and prove to Chuck it's in his mind

    you know what I mean. whatever mental illness he has was probably brought on by him overworking all the time, when Saul told him he passed the bar he mentioned him working all the time

    It's to do with the US being a federal system as opposed to a unitary state like Ireland. Basically you have state & federal level crimes, the latter generally being more serious & involving different institutions. Outside of certain categories of offence that automatically carry federal jurisdiction (e.g. terrorism) criminal & civil cases become more serious once an interstate element is involved. If someone commits fraud purely in their own state (in this case New Mexico) that will simply be a state level matter. The involvement of a transaction with someone outside that state makes it a crime against the entire country & thus makes it a federal & far more serious affair. That's my basic understanding anyway.

    That means he had to get his certificate re-done so it was changed from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman. I wonder how easy that type of thing is to do?

    Does this count as a plot hole?:confused:

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Did he change his name by Deed Poll? If so it would be perfectly legal & above board for him to request a name change on documents like the certificate.

    I don't think he forged the letter in the mail which he was so nervous about opening.

    He appears to have some kind of OCD-spectrum extreme paranoia.

    That's for taking the time to give me that detailed explanation, that helps a lot. :)

    No problem. I'm not a legal professional so there's possibly some flaws in that explanation, but that would be the basic gist of what's going on in that aspect of the case.

    Obviously, the letter he got in the mail was for passing the bar nothing to do with his certificate. I was just commenting that given Sauls nature you would expect the cert to be forged and be from a school that suggests a certain class, He would still have his cert from the distance learning university he just wouldn't put it on the wall.

    Class? He's pretty much a bottom feeding ambulance chaser and his clients know it so having a more prestigious cert wouldn't really accomplish anything for him and could potentially lead to issues down the line if he were ever accused falsifying documents. Not to mention that he's probably actually proud of having done the course and becoming a lawyer, even if it didn't involve a more prestigious law school.
