For once I'm not here for taco chat. Help me out, lawgoons: I seem to remember last year I had an addon for Firefox that did citation for copy/paste from Westlaw. Am I hallucinating this? My boss would very much like it. In other news, my new employers are total irreverent bastards, when Easter rolls around my boss gives hell to the other partner about his people killing Jesus. Also I was getting drunk on the clock with my boss' approval. Double also he showed me where he keeps the Woodford Reserve.

It's called Citegenie. http://www.citegenie.com/ Also, Lexis apparently has some app that integrates with Word that generates cites really easily. But a) that's probably useless if your not writing academically and just doing normal law office poo poo and b) I hate Lexis so I'll probably never get around to trying it.

I've spent every job I've ever had having to hide being a bitchy boozer, so I'm pretty happy. Also it can be a little blue-nosed in this part of the country, so I'm really relieved. Then again, my first time working in a law office so for all I know it's normal. aarontxwl posted:It's called Citegenie. http://www.citegenie.com/

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All of these are useless because they won't use local cite formats. They need a way to customize it. CA should be You mom v. Other whores (1990) 123 U.S. 567, 890. Funny, it says it does custom and then doesn't list CA. entris posted:god those tacos look awful. Where is the cheese? Where is the delicious red salsa?

We're just starting our open legal research memos here (our first "closed" memo had the relevant research given to us by the professor, complete with pre-done citations). I shared this link with other 1Ls on facebook, and you've saved us each probably dozens of hours on this project and future memos. Thanks!

They're somewhere. There's usually a book practitioners use for civil procedure/causes of action and then usually a giant loving series for general areas of law. Use either of these to glean cases for relevant Westlaw key numbers and categories. There you go, that should shave a good amount of time off your memo.

Today's realizations: 1) Co-counsel has been using me to help write the response to an MSJ. 2) Co-Counsel was retained specifically to write the responses to the MSJs 3) Co-counsel gets a third of the recovery 4) I do not, and they will likely not give me some of their cut. 5) gently caress.

I'm sorry that I offended all you taco "aficianados" but the simple truth is that I grew up on Taco Bell as my standard "taco" configuration, and now I'm addicted to cheese so a taco without cheese is just plain strange to me. Thank god for Americanized ethnic foods! For the record, I also enjoy Orange Chicken at Chinese places, and I happily eat deep dish style pizza.

There's a time and a place for Taco Bell. The time is right after last call and the place is as close to the bar as possible. That's when the cheesy, hard-shelled, ground beef abominations ( ) you call tacos are acceptable as a foodstuff.But carne asada tacos (or lengua  ) are manna from heaven.Horrible family history: my grandma, a Depression-era hardass from South Illinois made "tacos" out of ground beef mixed with chopped boiled potatoes, then stuffed into flour tortillas and fried. She ate them with ketchup or (even worse) mild La Victoria taco sauce. They are in every way an affront to Proper Taco making but it's still a comfort food for me so I guess there goes my taco cred, but w/e. e: omg grammar

Sorry to use you as an example Ainsley but someone in LF pointed this out and maybe it should be in the OP: Ainsley 2007 posted:I've got kind of a strange (possibly) question. I ctrl-f'd through the thread and didn't see any answers, but does a school with no grades hamper your opportunities after graduation at all? I'm a 1L at Northeastern, we have no grades here, just "evaluations". They're basically grades without the numbers; there are buzzwords that correspond to a letter grade, an excellent is an A, a very good is a B+, etc, but the point is, I think, that you can't be ranked into percentiles. I don't know how many other schools do this; apparently Yale does too, I did not know this until I read the thread, but then again, Northeastern isn't Yale. Ainsley 2010 posted:Did you notice the last page or so of posts in which we were all jizzing about a public defender position available in Barrow, Alaska? I couldn't speak for anyone else but I for one was not entirely exaggerating, I am not completely uninterested in the prospect and I went into law school saying to myself "the one thing I don't want to be is a public defender, I don't have the fortitude for it" but after 3 months of unemployment (well 5 technically but I started the count after I finished the bar, not graduation because at least when I was studying for the bar I had something to do) it's honestly starting to sound pretty good.

One of my roommates through college had his masters degree and worked off and on as a janitor at the local school district. I think he was part time or seasonal, but it basically amounted to him sweeping hallways, mowing lawns, buffing floors, and doing occasional handiwork for 22$/hr and benefits, then taking a month or two off to drink, play xbox, smoke, and read continental philosophy. Basically his life as a janitor was better than most lawyers' so I really wouldn't look down
