Erdricks posted:Chevron, next. It's this, for real. I'm trying to remember my admin exam and it was something like: Q1: A SCOTUS opinion we had not seen, we had to write a mini law review article critiquing it. I mentioned Chevron a lot. Q2: An issue involving deference to agencies and statutory interpretation. We had to write a majority opinion and either a concurrence or dissent. I mentioned Chevron a lot. Just look at the professor's past exams and see what kind of questions he asks, then pack Chevron into your answers as much as possible.

It's going to be 10 "short answer" questions in 2.5 hours, that are poo poo like "Explain the difference between the modern due process doctrine and the right/privilege distinction" or "Explain the principle of regulatory ossification and what contributes to it". After those 10 questions, we have an hour to write an essay responding to a 12-page law review article about why the administrative state is unconstitutional. She wants us to "discuss and respond to the article" either agreeing or disagreeing, and discussing the implications of our answer. The article was posted last week, and we're allowed/expected to bring an outline of our answer in with us. Ugh. Why can't this just be an issue spotter?

Alright here we go, Fed Tax on Thursday, Nonprofits on Friday, Native Hawaiian Rights paper due Monday, Secured Transactions on Wednesday, Conflicts take-home due next Friday. After this mess its just 12 credits of clinics and externship for me baby. Good luck to everyone else in finals, except for you 1Ls. Give it up when you still got time. Don't get to your 2L summer before you realize you hate the law profession.

Hey, I found an ad on craigslist looking for someone to print out and deliver motions as needed (like once a day if that). I asked how much they were offering per motion and the person who replied asked me how much I was looking for. What the heck should I say? Do any current lawyers pay someone to do this, and if so how much?

Do any current lawyers pay someone to do this, and if so how much? Most lawyers just use a courier service if they need something hand-delivered in a day. I don't think they hire a dedicated staff member to do that. If you want to price your delivery rate, call up some courier services and get price quotes from them, and calibrate your rate accordingly.

What is that from, and what is s/he holding, a staff? Torch? I'm thinking it is a broom and it is a metaphore for the law student's future career as a better-paid-than-a-lawyer school custodian.

Yeah it looks like it's not regular enough to pay someone hourly, and they're probably trying to find a schmuck such as myself to do it for way less than a courier charges. Good idea though, I'll do that.

This is why everyone hates lawyers, and why most people should never go to law school. It may be a little EN, but I'm posting it for the benefit all of you people who think that getting a job is the worst part of it. My landlord is a 13th year biglaw litigation associate. Keep that in mind when reading the exchange below. quote:

And, at the same time, tells me that the super important 3 hour inspection really can be done in 1 hour.... hmmmmm........

To be quite honest, I've won a few "Your honor, I oppose because this idiot's motions are approximately 95% worthless" motions in front of my really awesome judge. You should threaten your 13th year 4th string quarterback of a landlord with threatening language. It'll probably intimidate him into a fumble. Edit: just like Christian Ponder

You should threaten your 13th year 4th string quarterback of a landlord with threatening language. It'll probably intimidate him into a fumble. Thanks for the goodwill, everyone. I usually don't acknowledge his bullshit. I think he suffers from post-discovery stress disorder and is attempting to empower himself by beating up on me. I ignore it, and as always, his threats melt away. But, this time, I was thinking about dressing him down in a polite manner. To wit, (1) as you agreed to my request, there was no need for you to escalate the tone of the conversion; (2) if you want to accuse me of professional misconduct for requesting an extension due to the birth of my son, please go ahead; and (3) if you're trying to intimidate me or provoke a confrontation, it's not going to work. Mind you, this is a guy who has never set foot in a courtroom. I, on the other hand, have had cases before judges all across the country, including the famed Sam Sparks - although I didn't get a chance to speak at the hearing because Sparks ruled on the papers and then sua sponte imposed sanctions on my opponent for being an asshat (he even stormed off the bench). If this dude ever set foot in a courtroom with me, I would utterly demolish him and then celebrate by drinking his tears of frustration, anguish, and impotence.

I left for work late this morning because I hung around to watch my three-month-old son flip himself over for the very first time. I may have lost ~45 minutes of billable time but it was probably worth it. Adorable little guy, we have a nightly ritual where I rock him to sleep with one arm while I work remotely on my home computer. It takes longer to type things with one hand, but hey that just means more billables right?
