Now that I think about when we deploy we're literally GONE for 9 months to a year and every JAG I know works a shitload while deployed. We make basically the same salary + a few hundred extra a month for our remote chance of being shot or blown up.

I'm forever jealous, because my loan payments are going from $24/month to 350. WJ can you send me some gold bullion so I can buy my kid a Christmas gift?

Yeah greedy associate breaks wages at big firms down to your hourly rate and it makes it less lucrative. Not that I even had a shot. On the happy side, deleting your firm email account from your phone feels freeing, even if it's only for a week before the new job.

I have to tell you, folks, I am so sick of my status conferences for pro se divorces. I don't mind the paperwork so much. But the whole part where people are like "but no one ever told me I had to fill in the judgment of divorce! Why didn't anyone tell me that?" And then I cancel their divorce hearing and they yell at me. And then I get to say, "Okay, bring it all back in two weeks and we can do this again!" Absolutely my least favorite part of the job.

Many of your peers are younger than my daughter. When I took the LSAT the max was 48. When I applied to law school the were no yearly USNWR law school wreckings. Yet across the divide of years there remains one constant. gently caress Scalia. Or, from an old law school paper on the new un-hotness Oregon v. Smith, "He is a man of splendid abilities, but utterly corrupt. Like rotten mackerel by moonlight, he shines and stinks."

My 1L summer I was interning around the local courts and part of my internship was with the local small claims court, where two classmates of mine were suing each other over a couch. The judge made them do arbitration with him in chambers, telling them that they didn't want to have to explain this poo poo to the bar.

My 1L year I had to sue my landlord in small claims...the JTR was pretty cool. I started citing case law, to which he asked "are you a law student?" When I tried to non-answer he was all "yep. law student." Then turned it into a property law Socratic method exercises. then made my landlord give me back my drat deposit.

That was needlessly comprehensive. Did you already have a text document with those quotes ready to go or what? It is weird to hear that lawyers could be jurors. I would love to sit back and watch a long trial.

nm posted:Yes. And now you want to be on a jury. In Florida your employer does not have to pay you your normal salary/income if you're on a jury. I've heard from lawyers who've been forced to just take the 25 dollars a day or whatever the court pays the jurors and nothing else. Of course Florida has like 33% unemployment for lawyers so you'll take that and thank your employer for not finding some reason to fire and replace you.

My torts professor was on the jury for a tort case while teaching my class. She missed a few days for it. She said that the jury had a question about one of the terms in the instructions, so they and asked her. So in true professor form, she asked each member of the jury what they thought the definition would be. After she collected all of their opinions, she told them they had to ask the judge.
