Yeah I'm supposed to go to dance class but I'm not gonna bother. I could use a beer and some netflix while I sort out my goddamned priorities and send job applications.

I started an assault 2 trial today, where the prosecutor who was supposed to do it went on vacation and foisted it on another one. We got halfway through one witness when it became super apparent that the prosecutor didn't read the medical records. The judge got pissed and strongly suggested lowering it to a petty. We took it (complainant had a broken nose, we were gonna run a weak self defense, probably would have lost).

I took three days off last week, and the blood god saw that I had been replenished and demanded tribute. Queue three days in a row of billing until 5 a.m. I’ve spent so much time sitting in a chair working that my rear end feels like it’s fallen asleep. I didn’t even know that was possible.

We do and it's a drat sight more than 200$ as well (though maybe the same adjusted for cost of living). I was more generally talking about going to law school in the first place. evilweasel posted:in the us, getting a number means a girl gave you her phone number and suggested you call to set up a date sometime so its implication is actually more that you didn't get laid but you might sometime soon and then you do the bloodening and after the blót, you eat the lamb heart, your best men stab the bride's male relatives and you escape on the boat with the most cod on it. right. Seems fairly regular to me.

ulmont posted:Mr. Nice, you need to reply to BoozyBarrister and explain why his taco and wills truck is a horrible plan.  that might not be too bad of a plan. Reminds me of HankCo.In employment news, I interviewed via gotomeeting today with the COO/HR head of a firm that spans four states and has more than half a dozen offices in state. They don't have an opening in my town, and the spot I really wanted is getting offered today to someone else, but there are still other statewide openings where they think I'll be a good fit. They're going to schedule a second interview down in Orlando with the equity partner that runs that branch. It's 100% workers comp defense for insurance companies, but if there willing to pay alright it doesn't sound bad. They had me take a behavior and cognitive assessment prior to the interview. I asked about my score on the cognitive test because I was curious. The test itself advertised a strict 12 minute time limit and said most people do not finish all questions. She seemed shocked when I said I finished all 60 questions with 5 minutes left. She told me scores are strictly confidential, but that I scored beyond exceptionally well. I figure that translates to only one or two incorrect. Regardless this is only my second time to get an interview callback, so I'm a little elated even if it means I have to move.

I love the conservative jurisprudential theory poo poo because it's so beyond farcical. I've gotten into heated arguments about formalism and about a lot of other issues in legal theory, but there's at least a dispute there. People who can defend Scalian textualism with a straight face deserve special priority because they've got some kind of superpower to be able to withstand the cognitive dissonance involved. Or a brain lesion, in which case it's more of an ADA thing.

Illinois is making attorneys who don't have malpractice insurance through a firm (i.e. everyone who does doc review) do 4 hours of 'self assessment' about all that stuff. Normally CLEs are like an hour video or whatever. This is flash only and requires you to click next slide about every 15-30 seconds and otherwise stops. edit: AND THERES loving QUIZZES A FEW SLIDES IN JESUS gently caress im going to go postal. i got to the end to yet another quiz, which froze. reloaded t ab, which disappeared. went back to the site, 'resumed where i left off' and it started me at the beginning where i was 45 loving minutes ago mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Oct 19, 2018 |

It’s p cool all judges now need to be members of a club that started because no one else would believe this stuff (to the exclusion of everything else) back when SCOTUS was actually doing positive things like ruling against segregation. Also, lol forever that it’s now a career strategy to lie and say you believe this stuff to get federal jobs/clerkships. Can’t wait for the buttcovering excuses of future decades’ legal minds. “No you see I was just pretending to argue consensual adult relationships were like bestiality.”
