HiddenReplaced posted:A friend from years ago that became a teacher is now considering law school. When I asked her what she wanted to do her response was: Then say: alright, you rear end in a top hat do-gooder. Go loving save the world. You don't need a god drat motherfucking law degree to Do Good. In fact, you can do, like, at least 150% More loving Good without a lovely loving law degree. Either suck up your White Guilt and do something with your Incredibly Smart loving Brain, or throw good money after bad and get a law degree so you can poo poo all over yourself when life loving sucks and the best you can do is tell a loved one that ICE is going to gently caress their husband over. gently caress OFF AND DON'T DO LAW SCHOOL. I'm so mad that I wasted my quarterly drunk post on some lovely rear end in a top hat who isn't even going to law school.

No it's supposed to be intoxicated white middle class thirty-something American who thinks he knows more than you because of his worthless liberal arts degree in basket weaving so he's just going to take a gap year and save the world one t-shirt sale at a time in-between excessive drinking just laying down poo poo at it is. Maaan. What the gently caress it's a braindump of impotent rage at the non-class would-be law students. World weary anecdotes require at least 50% more war stories about life.

Has anyone ever had a potential employer ask for letters of reference? I'm getting more and more weirded out by this mass torts firm. Two people from the "support" company that provides legal support to the mass torts firm, as well as two partners of the kind of sketchy mass tort firm, as well as "whatever additional attorneys are available" will be in on the interview. It's worth flying out, and the people I've spoken to have been personable, but I am getting a lot of red flags, or at least "nontraditional firm" flags. One named partner is degreed from "West New England College School of Law" and the other is from UC Hastings, while another is "inactive" status from Boston University SOL.

What is it? Some kind of local trouble? Let's just say our firm is "nontraditional". Well, that's the trick, isn't it? And it's going to cost you something extra. Ten thousand in advance.

HiddenReplaced posted:Is this something JDs even do? Yes, it is, and a big problem with human rights research and work is that tons of college assholes think they can do it without relevant degrees or training and then they gently caress up and then the law thread thinks that it's not a real career and that IHR work is made-up panda bullshit. What area does she want to work in? If you want you can PM me her email and I can put her in touch with people.

Serious question though: two crimes that require malice? Are those murder and mayhem? I always liked mayhem as a crime. (Not a crim guy, I can't remember poo poo about crim law.)

One of the partners in my department literally had bar exam flashcards in the delivery room during the delivery. His wife was... not thrilled. Also, why are you messing up your sleep schedule so close to the bar exam?

As much as bar study sucks, nailing an exam question is like a law orgasm. I remember my brain being full to the brim, and one question was about the elements to establish paternity. I had the acronym down (BAD CAT or something: Birth certificate, Acknowledgement, Dna test, etc etc). Being able to spit it out on cue was like "OOOOooooOoOOooooooh yeah!, chicka-chicka". You walk out of the exam utterly spent, ready for a cigarette regardless if you smoke.

I'm handwriting the essay exam portion of the VA bar because I don't want to have to deal with laptop/testing software bull-****. I'm pissed I waited until after I made/studied outlines to look at old essay exams. They test the same poo poo over and over and I could have fit every subject save for Civil Procedure on a single page outline. I better not be one of the ~4-5 people from my school who will fail statistically speaking. I haven't played video games or watched HBO GO in 2 drat months. Hope my self-study experiment doesn't end in ruin.

I hope you're doing like 6 hour writing sessions to build stamina, because it's writing as fast as you possibly can for that long of a stretch. There's no software bullshit though... I took VA by laptop in like 08. At the test they hand everyone a USB stick that takes over your computer and installs stuff. It was about as easy as they could make it. Good luck you nut! I think hour long masturbation session are warranted to build up your wrist strength.

Agesilaus posted:Nope, and lmao at the idea of a defence attorney stipping to lab results, it's apparently more fun to wait until they drive down pursuant to the phone hold despite there being no doubt at all that everything is above board. I was making the Crown fly their toxicologist from half way across the country to a rural town for a drive impaired by drug so that I could ask them one question to point out that there are no quantities listed in their report. They ended up arranging a teleconference thing though. I also made their DRE evaluator testify in person rather than allow his report to go in, but that produced some good evidence on cross for their lack of experience or training dealing with people who were extremely tired.
