Ford is said to have kept a clipping of that bit of dicta from the Burdick case in his wallet as a totem that he did the right thing.

Also, does anyone think it was wrong to report that an attorney was in active litigation against a firm from which he had accepted a job offer?

The agency told him he needs to self report. I've been trying to upload a picture of the fan because it's truly glorious but I can't get it up.

I would have considered talking to him to give him a chance to break the news to the agency. But that’s the type of thinking that got me to say privately to a coworker “Hey [Senior Attorney with anger management issues], I just heard you say the N word [in describing Trayvon Martin no less] and I’m gonna ask you not use that in the office anymore.” (On the one hand, he stormed out of his office and yelled at staff “Hey did anyone hear me say n*****!” And then emailed the same staff members along with management to claim he didn’t say it, which pretty much put those staff on notice that he expected them to cover for his denial. OTOH it made his HR complaint (that I was “trying to get him in trouble”) pretty hilarious since I never needed to turn him in for racism thanks to his blow up and email.Hot Dog Day #91 posted:The agency told him he needs to self report. Technically, sounds like your boss should be reported for failure to report if they see this as a “need to” situation. yronic heroism fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Aug 23, 2018 |

Phil Moscowitz posted:What the gently caress is wrong with Alan Dershowitz? Suspicion of prosecutors, particularly special prosecutors. (But sometimes they're necessary, particularly when Congress won't/can't do that job) Disgust that liberals are abandoning their principles because BUT TRUUUMP. (Even if the conservatives who've already abandoned their (stated) principles are running roughshod over what used to be those (shared) principles A huge boner for a dictatorial unitary executive. (Maybe related to 9/11 breaking his brain?)

Everyone needs to take the CA bar and move to sacramento. Pickings are thin for government lawyers. We're seriously considering hiring people with multiple past bar issues. Jeesus. I'd say go to law school, but this will likely resolve in less than 3 yeats.

There are currently 8 agencies in CA looking for entry level attorneys and some postings are really old. It starts at 65k (only for fresh out of law school), which isn't amazing, but you'll be fine in Sacramento (or live like a king in Visalia where there is one posting) and a Attorney III promotion (there is no attorney 2) is an automatic promotion with 6 years experience (as an attorney, not in position) in some, but not all, offices, which starts at over 100k, which again doesn't sound like too much v. private practice, but I work 8 hours/day, have every weekend off, in excess of 5 weeks of leave, extremely hard to fire, and when I'm 60, I get to retire with like 70% of my salary (new pensions will be worse than mine, but only a bit). For experienced attorneys, attorney III, there are 24 agencies (well office locations) hiring. One of them appears to be firing highway patrol officers. nm fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Aug 23, 2018 |

Hot Dog Day #91 posted:2. Magic bullet lawyer is a term I've used since advocacy exercises in law school. There are some lawyers who try to solve cases. Like there is some combination of facts and law that make the case unbeatable. And if you thread all the needles correctly you'll win. If it's not litigation, what's the best practice area to be a (rich) magic bullet lawyer?

Oh gently caress Im sad there is a new thread because I cant empty quote all my posts about law school and then be like "oh now I do bush law for a living" Think Island law... but the desert. Same problems with things to do, and bad internet, same "super chill on a friday" vibes.

Oh good, it's GDPR Compliance day. I certainly have time for this poo poo. Oh I need to draft a 200 page instruction manual for our plumber's use of personal data, that seems sensible. Ah, this newborn has to sign this consent form well that shouldn't be too much trouble at all. I'm leaving the EU. gently caress this poo poo.

Oh I actually did advise him to tell the agency first. I spent an entire day telling him. He kept insisting it's not a conflict. Also, I'm loving glad I murdered him I got a fan.

Jesus, if you told him he was loving up then there’s nothing to feel bad about. He should have known without being told. You tried. Too bad this didn’t happen in July or so when a fan has max value.

Ah, this newborn has to sign this consent form well that shouldn't be too much trouble at all. GDPR sucks and one of the tertiary reasons I left work was that I knew that I'd be the one to have to draft data protection documents for whenever we advise someone from the EU, which was like 3/4 of our work

Also I really liked the story from the old thread when the judge said "shoot my wad" and the goon lawyer started laughing and the judge explained to him it was a gun reference.

You make this sound extremely attractive. If only the CA bar wasn’t so terrifying. Whenever I think about it I remember how two of my friends moved out there a few years back, failed multiple times, and ended up getting divorced. She’s practicing now, he’s not. Your pension is definitely better than mine, though.

I mean, I've taken and passed a bar that's just as difficult as california's, but that was also on someone else's dollar. I don't think I've got the thousands I need just to get licensed in cali let alone move there.

No concerts though. We get bands 10+ years after they’re relevant, if at all. I think our most recent group was Bone Thugs n Harmony.
