Anyone have ideas for non-legal jobs in Austin? I've been applying to office jobs/pretty much anything I can find that isn't retail/food service and I've got nothing so far.

That'll bring me to Saturday, which gives me 48 hours to research and write a paper that's 7500 words minimum. Coke will just make you not give a poo poo about any stupid papers and be happy, this is a good strategy as long as you can keep doing cocaine forever

So in this Maryland required ethics seminar I have been advised to break over a half dozen ethical canons within 2 hours. Like "this is how to pad your bill" and lying is ok and threatening opposing counsel with a hatchet is an ok thing to promise your client you'll do.

The deal with JAG is that it's wonderful. It's also very difficult to get into anymore. The pay, benefits, and work hours of a military officer is going to be far superior to the job opportunities of the overwhelming majority of law students.

Solomon Grundy posted:If I worked out of my basement and billed and collected 1000 hours per year at $100 per hour with no overhead, that would be pretty good, too. But I don't generate enough of my own clients to make that feasible. I think it's possible to have an office that has a very professional presentation without killing yourself on overhead. I like to think I've done a good job at keeping my overhead low - I'm in an office share and split an office with a close friend of mine from law school. I use Google Voice for a free business number and an online fax number for faxes (even though faxes are so loving outdated it frustrates me when I have to use it). Besides rent, the biggest overhead expense I have is by far malpractice insurance. In Oregon, we're required to have malpractice insurance through the state-bar run insurance company. I will pay around $2500 next year for coverage, and that is with a discount for new members of the bar (not because they feel sorry for us, but because newer lawyers have less clients and still actually call their clients back). Add in another $450 in bar dues, just to have the privilege of saying "I'm a lawyer." My understanding is in other states malpractice insurance isn't run by the bar and thus is far cheaper, which annoys the hell out of me, but whatever. The experience of starting a practice has educated me on how a firm operates, and if I ever have the opportunity and/or decide I want to be an associate, I'll be a better employee because I understand how a lot of this poo poo works. I've talked to my friends who have taken firm positions, and it's a bit scary how little they know about the basics of being a lawyer, like how IOLTA accounting should work and even what system they use for conflict checks beyond "I just hand the client intake sheet to the receptionist." And yeah, rainmaking is a fundamental challenge. It's especially hard for me since I am not a natural schmoozer and I don't have the budget for a really significant marketing campaign, but I'm constantly working at it and I guess only time will tell whether I'll be successful or not. I do not blame people at all for partnering up/working for a firm where they don't have to worry about bringing clients in.

I use Google Voice for a free business number and an online fax number for faxes (even though faxes are so loving outdated it frustrates me when I have to use it). I agree completely. Unfortunately, my partners don't know how to use computers and dictate everything for transcription. One of my partners doesn't even have a computer, and any emails go to his secretary, who prints them out and puts them in in his inbox, where he can dictate responses. If I was not reliant upon these folks to generate work for me, I could escape a ton of overhead. mushi posted:And yeah, rainmaking is a fundamental challenge.

I do not blame people at all for partnering up/working for a firm where they don't have to worry about bringing clients in. I do worry about bringing clients in, because at the end of the year, everyone forgets that they needed me to do the actual work. Instead, they look at the columns of numbers representing what everyone billed and collected, and my number is small and their number is big. But beyond the frustrations I mention above, I don't have a lot of worries. I hand the conflict check form to a secretary, I give any checks and invoices to the office manager, my bar dues get paid and someone reports my CLE hours for me. My partners generate some very interesting work and I have lots of autonomy after they send it over to me. My draw check never bounces, and when I have a challenging situation, there are greybeards to bounce it off of. For those benefits, I give away a lot of money that I could capture if I had their clients and my comfort level with technology.

Just thought I would come post this for a little exam demotivation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%96Kruger_effect Wikipedia posted:The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people. It also explains why actual competence may weaken self-confidence. Competent individuals falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. "Thus, the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."
