I'm having an informal first sit down (which may be partly with the CEO) of a long established tech business here in town that sells apps and websites to businesses. I might end up doing some sort of sales/business development for them. It's better than criminal defense, at least.

Nice piece of fish posted:You mean not as a sort of institutional inertia/won't sell out a useless worker for loyalty issues, but legitimate documented poor performance being insufficient cause? Protected class issues often cause this. If you have a crappy employee you want to can, but find out just before firing them that they are a member of a protected class, or they fall and get a temporary disability, or whatever, it’s often safer to put them on a PIP and jump through hoops rather than going straight to termination.

ulmont posted:Nah, TC Heartland killed that. It's down to 1 in 7. At this point it's more juries in Wilmington, Delaware. There is some server farm in East Texas that Judge Gilstrap is using to reclaim jurisdiction. It’s likely to go back up to the Supreme Court.

Murrah posted:Is anyone aware of a jurisdiction where you would legitimately say it is difficult to fire people 'for poor performance' because of something law related? Basically every single time In my life I have encountered someone saying "its hard to fire people" it seems like its really just a bureaucratic/organizational failure of management, or maybe its just a difficult and uncomfortable thing that people will always mess up somehow as basic as you can make the process. https://www.guampdn.com/story/news/local/2019/02/02/guam-supreme-court-hearing-plumber-resinstated/2729741002/ I have lost one case in the last 10 years, and it was my current department's attempt to fire someone for missing a year's worth of work with no medical excuse provided until 3 months post-firing. The other side admitted every fact we presented - the two previous adverse actions, the warnings, the reminder for the need for doctor's notes, the emails, the 'literally going to the employee's house to see what was up'. They just said the employee had major depression, and that was why no response was given. And that was enough to not only win the case for them, despite our side doing everything possible to accommodate, but get the votes of all 4 commissioners (they only need 1 to win.) I would say firing people from gov here works about 15% of the time, with 50% of cases being thrown out for not following the process correctly.

The 11th, IIRC, decided they were procedural and thus inapplicable in federal courts. They've said no for another state's statute, but Oklahoma's Supreme Court has determined Oklahoma's statute to be substantive and not procedural. Also, there's some incongruency between the statute's dispositive motion and a Rule 12 that may put them in conflict and get the attorney's fees bit tossed even if the statute is substantive.

The person I'm working below on a big matter is out for the week and jesus CHRIST being responsible for the final, definitive answer on 10,000 piddling points is maddening. I can't get anything done because people are calling and emailing me about everything imaginable and the client forgets what they're told literally within hours. I want to die.

Sad day everyone, as I regret to announce that I'll be stepping down from my monthly duties as a municipal court prosecutor, and passing the torch to the next generation with the faith and trust in them and the system of justice they deserve. As of today, I am no longer a traffic ticket lawyer. (thought of a better one) But as I carry the lessons and the friendships I made along the way with me, in some ways, I will always be, a traffic ticket lawyer.

I, a bad lawyer, posted something in the legal questions thread.quote:We currently have propane heating. We have a buried propane tank that supplies our HVAC and hot water heater. Our HVAC is old and lovely, so we're switching to electric and would like to just go ahead and swap out the hot water heater to electric too (it's 8 years old, so it's probably close to done anyway).

Not a contract or property lawyer, but won't it be incumbent upon them to prove the contents of a written contract if you ultimately sue them for trespass? I'm not trying to give legal advice, just curious about how this could go if they can't dig up these decades old documents. Or even prove there was an amendment to the agreement re buying back the unused propane.
