Throatwarbler in the old thread posted:So, uh, someone is threatening, falsely and maliciously, to report to the school that I had sexually harrased them. Should I pre-emptively go to the school administration with copies of all communications and ask that something be done about these threats? I mean I guess there's not that much that can be done probably since no actual report has been made but at least it might help if the threat was carried out? Throatwarbler posted:You guys would get a real kick out of how this sexual harassment thing is working out. Unfortunately the details would be too identifiable. dear throatwarbler: 1) post the emails 2) please conclude this sexual harassment storyline before moving on to a "what it's like to own slaves" season 3 govern yourself accordingly

Vox Nihili posted:Maybe try to work for a US/UK firm in Russia anyway? I can only imagine that this would help your chances of eventually getting out, even if they have no interest in letting you transfer internally. I tried. The problem with these is the market. Virtually all business for lawyers in Russia currently comes from litigation (especially bankruptcy, because no one who isn't a Putin crony has any money). With the singular exceptions of Clifford Chance and Dentons, UK/US firms do not have substantial litigation practices in Russia. Their bread and butter are contractual and M&A work for London offices, and, for some of them (Norton Rose, Freshfields, and Baker McKenzie, most importantly), international arbitration (which is often lumped with litigation into "dispute resolution"). Litigation clients can't afford US/UK firm rates, and, if we're being real, Russian firms are much better at litigation. There are no contracts or M&A work because Russia is Russia. As a result, none of these practice areas have enough work for these firms to warrant any hires other than an occasional paralegal (which isn't the same thing as it is in US/UK, in Russia paralegal is like a junior junior associate/legal secretary/translator) straight out of a top three Moscow (remember, there is no Russia, there is only Moscow -- and I'm not from Moscow) law school once every year or two. It can be more or less egregious (Skadden for more, Dentons for less), but the general pattern is the same in every one of them The only way I'd even be considered for one of these firms would be if I were to qualify under English law E: Getting qualified under English law would require me to go to England and spend 3 years studying for a GDL. The "go to England" part is still problematic. And no one will give me a loan, which I would inevitably need to be able to afford it E2: dammit I thought I was too lazy to do an effortpost but apparently I can do effort just fine as long as it's me complaining E3: I forgot about Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, they also have a litigation practice from when they were Goltsblat BLP (yes they had a Russian partner's name in the firm name, it was officially "Goltsblat BLP, the Russian practice of Berwin Leighton Paisner". The dude, by his own admission, lucked out with helping Mars establish presence in Russia in the early 90s and therefore became an eminent practitioner) nutri_void fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Aug 14, 2018 |

a plausible shortcut here involves going to the US / other relevant country to get an LLM and then using the LLM to get in with them instead. LLMs are 1-2 years depending on the country/program. this heavily violates the 'do not go to law school' ethos of this thread, but it's the only reason Western LLMs exist, so there's that

The horde of Chinese and European lawyers rushing over to get their LLM in the US are basically viewed as cash pinatas by US law schools. To the extent that they're somehow helping to subsidize the core $60k for a JD business, even.

I already have a Swedish LLM and no, Swedish firms don't care. European firms that aren't Beiten Burkhardt are in the same position, just scaled down a bit. Or a lot. A US/UK LLM won't be quite that useless, but it won't be of much help either. As I said, these firms simply never have openings, and that won't change until the inevitable paradigm shift that will happen when Putin dies or gets too old to have control over anything. Assuming that the shift will be for the better, which isn't a given nutri_void fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Aug 14, 2018 |

I just started reading the last thread and this one after a year hiatus, which seems to correspond with when I started seeking help and started taking Prozac. I still hate my biglaw job and want to do something else, but at least I don't have breakdowns in the middle of work anymore and can make it through the day doing my job semi-competently. Basically: Don't go to law school, but if you already did, please see a mental health professional.
