Nice piece of fish posted:Here you go, here are some high steaks. Hey do you have anything like a roadkill list? We have a system up here where you register a four person team with the State Troopers, and any time a moose gets murdered in the roadways the dispatchers best start calling people until some redneck shows up to claim a free moose. I'm on my brothers team. We've gotten a solid half dozen moose from the list. You just need be able to show up with a trailer within an hour to get it off the highway, otherwise they go to the next team on the list. It's great, but very hick.

Come to Iowa, hang a shingle, and get on the court appointed list. You can not be worse than some other lawyers on there.

All of those sound great, but I need the job first in order to move. I wish I had the funds available to just pack up and move my hunt elsewhere.

I think that's the purview of the local wildlife authority, they get all the cadavers and I don't think any get doled out like that. Anyway, not to sound arrogant but the hunting them part is kind of a major part of the whole thing. Don't know if I'd feel as good about if I got handed road meat. I know, it is good that the animal doesn't go to waste though so I completely support your system there.

Pass the bar and we don't care where you live as long as you're willing to move here (probably Sacramento, which is less exciting than the bay or LA, but also marginally affordable still and isn't like Fresno or Bakersfield.). The whole pass the bar is the annoying part about job hunting across state lines.

That requires thousands of dollars in and of itself in bar application fees and study materials. I have full faith I could pass any bar with studying and preparation, but it's just a chunk of money I don't have to spend on it. I didn't pay my florida fees personally, and probably would have been SoL if I had to pay for it out of pocket.

Has anyone done reciprocity admission? I’m 10 years in and I wonder just how little actual practice experience could get me admitted in another state.

Look Sir Droids posted:Has anyone done reciprocity admission? I’m 10 years in and I wonder just how little actual practice experience could get me admitted in another state. 10 years is enough to be admitted in any district that allows admission by motion. Each one has specific rules on how actively you need to practice, but you should be fine to move. Fees vary and not all states offer reciprocity to all others.

Lol I’m not going to move unless my wife sells her business which won’t happen. I just wonder if it’s possible to get admitted on reciprocity based on nothing but holding a law license for 10 years. My guess is no unless you have character references that will lie for you.

In California, 4 years exempts you from the multiple choice, you still have to do essay day. Delaware doesn't have reciprocity.

California is much more permissive with who we allow to take the bar, you don't even have to go to a law school, you can just study the law with a lawyer or judge or something.

Most states in the southeast let you in if your state lets them in. South Carolina, weirdly, is a no reciprocity state. Sucks, cause doc review retirement in Charleston would be p cool.

Florida had to limit reciprocity because every partner from the north east and midwest retiring there wanted to set up their own residual income shingle and it made it so young lawyers couldn't get work.

You can’t fully grasp the intricate and subtle complexity of the napoleonic code unless, like me, you never study it in law school and cram it during bar prep. Even 10 years of practice in another jurisdiction, where you apply similar but differently-worded arcane principles to reach almost identical results, won’t adequately prepare you.

Charleston's legal market is absolutely saturated, there's too much development corruption and too many old easy marks in the area. Besides, the legal system is also notoriously corrupt/incompetent. SC's the state where they keep having to do bar exam rollbacks.
