Oh I have to pinkie swear I won't sell my client's tax return to google on this here 45 page disclaimer? Well good, that certainly stops me from doing something that I'd be in prison for a year over. The absolute idiocy and draconic loving bullshit way this is implemented is mind-boggling. Particularly since at the same time, money laundering laws just tightened up and I'm not only now legally required to retain incredible amounts of personal and financial information for ages and give them up to the government at the drop of a hat but also at the same time I'm completely disallowed to do those things and obligated to delete this information upon request. It's just  all around.Also blarzgh posted:HDD Did Nothing Wrong

Today is the day where I walk in and officially quit big law and put in my two weeks. 3 years and 51 weeks. It is finally over. Going to be a partner track associate at a small firm that has a niche government/regulatory practice, spend evenings with my 4 week old baby and take him on trips where his dad will be present and not working (something his mother never got the benefit of since our honeymoon). Praise Allah. Post the emails Throatwarbler and I'll put you in touch with the lateral team at my big law firm. We don't have a Dubai office, so having live in slaves may not be a career growth possibility (however we do have offices in the American South and after another 4 years of Trump, sky is the limit for what we can do!)

Does anyone have suggestions for practice management for small/medium size firms. We're going to be using Clio for billing. Should we try to use Clio for everything, including using the Clio document management software, or does it make sense to use something like Box so that it plays nicely with Office? Or just use Office 365? Someone suggested using Google Docs for document management but I'm concerned that will be a disaster. We're going to be having multiple offices and remote workers. I'm trying not to get too involved but I don't want to be stuck using a terrible system.

Well good, that certainly stops me from doing something that I'd be in prison for a year over. fwiw my read on GDPR is it's mostly a problem of being absurdly vague, as a necessary function of EU passage. Like with HIPAA (more so than HIPAA), internal compliance/rear end-covering policies are bonkers, but are erroneously attributed directly to the law.

I love this because it puts the onus of negotiating the ontological space onto individual adherents, and, indirectly, makes the ethical question the basis of their internal deliberations.

Yuns posted:That guide would be ok. So I assume the market participant you are representing is not regulated (e.g. not a CPO) and not an NFA member but is an exchange participant? Not actually repping anyone in connection with this (hence no concrete scenario and no time pressure)—if you can believe it, this is more for my own curiosity. I don’t have a legal background in this and I’m interested in reading up on what the regulatory landscape looks like at a more nitty gritty level than Wikipedia. Am not sure of the best way to approach it, so am all ears.

Just gonna drop this baby off here: "It's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal," Trump said in the interview, adding he's witnessed similar scenarios over his decades in public life. "I know all about flipping, 30, 40 years I have been watching flippers. Everything is wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they flip on whoever the next highest one is or as high as you can go." Suspects cooperating with prosecutors in exchange for a reduced sentence is a central feature of the criminal justice system, but Trump has long valued loyalty over legal precedent or practice.
