Maybe I should set up a kangaroo BDSM court for all of these people to sue each other. Can treat it as a form of binding arbitration ala Judge Judy.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Maybe they forgot to do all those things cause they wanted to be paddled. Maybe the better punishment is to send them home.

Do you know any tricks for making sure the blood doesn't drain from your face when they tell you about compensation? We interviewed an attorney coming from big law on Monday and she went white as a sheet when she heard the starting salary. Heh.

You couldn't make anything enforceable, but you could definitely make consent agreements that help disclaim you from liability due to injuries suffered during a session.

That would be a somewhat dubious proposition over here, since there's a hard limit on certain areas of personal injury - it used to be the case that boxing was de facto outlawed because you couldn't consent to being knocked unconscious (which is an automatic "severe bodily harm" crime, 4-6 years). They changed that in 2014 so now you can consent to anything that won't leave permanent injury or do grievous bodily harm (which unfortunately might be anything that would cause you sick leave for any period exceeding 14 days, which isn't all that high a bar to clear). This means that consent might but probably won't remove (but might reduce) liability, and would do nothing to prevent criminal liability in the case of permanent injury or grievous bodily harm.

Had to look it up. I’m not certain that there is one. Bedroom stuff is typically protected by incorporating the unwritten privacy rights in the bill of rights against the states via the 14th. Although I’m not sure of a specific case, Lawrence v Texas is probably the closest. That’s a 2003 case that finally struck down a bunch of various state anti-sodomy laws. Aka just wait a couple of years for justice Kavanaugh to pen the decision overturning griswold v connecticut and anything other than straight sex through a hole in a sheet will be unlawful.

I spent about four hours just laying in bed last night unable to sleep for similar reasons. I have to get more work product to actually present to potential employers to show I'm not an idiot. I just don't know that they'll actually be able to do that. I only have the veteran's clinic right now. Every other lawyer that gets a case there already has their own established practice or works for someone that provides resources/insurance coverage for pro bono work. I don't and do not have the funds to start up my own practice and really do not desire that in the first place.

I have a case where my opponent filed an interlocutory appeal, but (among other things) forgot to include the lower court's order setting a return date. This is a fatal mistake and the court of appeal summarily rejected his application (after the deadline of course) without giving him a grace period to re-file (he did get one judge who disagreed and would have cut him some slack on this, though).

So he tried to get a new return date from the trial court, who obliged him, and filed a second appeal. I argued that the deadline had passed and no extension was asked for or granted, so the brief was untimely. Also he forgot to include in his appellate record the pleading that his interlocutory appeal addressed (lmao). The court of appeal dismissed his writ and this time the one judge who would have cut him slack above signed off.

That's literally the first page. No cover page, no TOC, no table of authorities, etc.

Also it was apparently due on 9/11(after already receiving an extension) and was filed 90 seconds late

That sucks. My one and only redeeming thing is I sleep incredibly well. I fall asleep easily all the time no matter where. I do wake up easily so when the kid cries I'm the one to go help him but id rather have that than insomnia


And when I'm in a bad mental place I just get mad seeing lovely lawyers filing stuff and I can't keep my poo poo together despite knowing I'm better than them

I'l be interviewing with a solo for a job I don't want but feel pressured to take and am 100% sure that I'll be told all about this and how thats so hard and that's why the position will pay half of what I make right now but The Experience is Invaluable

Actually instead of woe is me, what's the best substance to relax with when I've had high blood pressure for years (brought on during my period where I was in great shape and working out a ton on gymnastics and using a substance I thought was safe until it got banned by the fda, woops) ? Beer? Whiskey? Weed?
