Newfie posted:Holy poo poo, this happened to me last week. I was in international trade (it is an easy course with am easy marking prof) and I got a random nose bleed for probably the first time in my life. I was drinking rockstar and coffee all week trying to get a paper done. Now I need to get my blood pressure checked It's an indicator but not necessarily a sign. Regardless you should get it checked out. At that time I was actually in really good shape, cooking most meals at home with no salt already, and it was still through the roof. Now I get to take medication every day whee! In other news here's a lovely job opportunity for all you young lawyers: quote:Creditors rights law firm in the North Suburbs has an associate opening for candidates with min. of 2 years experience, Compensation: Pay up to $50,000.00 per year I'm seriously very excited for when minimum wage hits $15/hr and these jobs (due to their hours) are worse than working at mcdonalds. There's also a surprising number of temp-to-perm jobs that require 5+ years experience, because that's totally what people are interested in. It's not like that even makes much sense due to being an at will employment state, I presume its just to avoid paying health care or something.

Yesterday I completely lost my poo poo and had a meltdown at mediation. This is a half-day mediation. We contested the prenup and lost. Mom owes Dad $30K in attorney fees now and only has the clothes off her back and custody and moved as far as she possibly can. Mediation starts at 9:00. They don't have an offer to us until 12:30 and it was "Give us half custody and walk away." "No." I tell the mediator we need to leave and that I can't afford to pay her any further because Mom is broke and I'm basically working to keep her happy and finish the case out and don't expect to get paid and because I felt bad for her. She says wait until 2:00. At 2:00 she brings in a proposal. "Mom keeps the kid, $60K to Mom, Mom moves within 25 miles of Dad." I tell her deal. Opposing party keeps adding terms. At 4:30, mediator comes back in and tells me that opposing party wants a day to think about it. I throw down the wad of cash I keep in my pocket for mediation ($~1500) and say "We're here until this is done." And they refuse to keep going. And I lose my poo poo. "gently caress him, write up an MSA right now and sign it." She brings in the other attorney. I curse both of them out because they're costing me money from my own pocket and he needs to man the gently caress up and sign it and I'm just not loving nice enough to give them another day of my time. They want to reschedule another half-day mediation. I tell them he needs to loving sign it because if he gets a day to think about it, he's going to add in "all sorts of bullshit" and "Mediation is about pressuring someone to take a loving deal." That's when I left. And about five minutes later, I get a call that says he wants to pay for another half-day mediation. All fees out of his pocket. And I know if I can get her some cash, she'll pay the remainder of my fees. God drat it. gently caress this job. I'm a whore.

calvus posted:What's the standard for that? Generally you must show that the party not only has a severe psychological disorder, but also that the particular disturbance renders them incapable of understanding the nature of the proceedings against them and renders them unable to conduct/assist their case. You could be stark raving mad, but if you're on trial for murder, understand what murder is, and understand the specific murder allegations you're facing, you're competent. I doubt any court would ever find that sovcits have a psychological disorder in the first place, because a steadfast, irrational belief in something isn't a disorder. Even if it were, sovcits understand the nature of the proceedings. They just think the proceedings themselves are unlawful.

Plus aren't you most likely to get killed by your clients in that area (the one judge in cook to get killed in the last few decades was by a dude in divorce court iirc) Also are mediators even ever useful ever? Why do they get away with charging so much?

Last year there was a shooting at a mall the town over from the law school. Basically a security guard may or may not (almost certainly not) have been in a relationship with a girl who worked at the mall. After she told him to stop texting her and reported his behavior to his supervisors he went to his apartment, came back with a gun, and shot her 3 times. The trial started yesterday and this was an early witness's recollection: quote:The first witness called by the prosecution was Kathryn Ogden of Coralville. Ogden said she had parked at the mall and was walking in to get some food for her and her husband when she was almost hit by a speeding blue car. The goon literally "m'ladied" on his way to murder a girl who had turned him down. Link for those interested: http://daily-iowan.com/2016/04/15/witnesses-detail-mall-shooting-in-kozak-trial/

And do you see that fedora in the courtroom today? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've given a lot of your lives to be here with us throughout this trial. You've heard a lot about a fedora-tipping assailant. But the record clearly shows that my client was in fact wearing a trilby hat on the day of the murder, clearly exonerating him of this hyenas crime.

Now, Ms. Ogden, you’ve testified that your daughter was obsessed with fedoras? Your *daughter*? Who is a girl? And you remember that you’re under oath? And you’re telling the jury today that there is a girl, somewhere on this planet, who not only likes fedoras, but loves them? Thank you, nothing further.

olylifter posted:Man anyone can be a lawyer in Ontario, we'll take all the debris, foreign and domestic: quote:After a careful consideration of both the documentary and oral evidence, as well as the able arguments of all counsel, the panel concludes that it is not satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the Applicant is a person of good character who should be granted a Class L1 licence.  My favorite part though is the fact the Dean gives zero fucks whether this guy is even able to be a lawyer before taking his sweet sweet tuition money. quote:The Dean testified that a previous criminal conviction is not something that “[law schools in Canada are] interested in for academic purposes.”[21] When asked by panel member Laskin to expand on this point, the Dean alluded to the decades-long struggle between the universities and the Law Society for control of legal education in Ontario, a struggle that was ultimately resolved in favour of the universities. The Dean stated, “…we are teaching law, we are not teaching lawyers.” The concern as to whether or not one could become an articling student, following the award of a law degree, is thus “not of paramount concern to us.”

That dude could credibly ask in the context of a criminal case to view child porn to satisfy himself (on behalf of a client) that it meets the legal definition of cp He does crim law. A 14 year old sex assault complainant could be (maybe already has been) cross examined by a guy who has been convicted of abusing a position of trust to sexually abuse a teenager. What a shocking decision
