Eh it is what it is. I’ll figure it out. I do have some good things in my life to counterbalance the lovely parts of being broke and unemployed.

I had a long period of struggling in a solo practice doing work I didn't like and feeling like I wouldn't find any legal positions. I'll admit that I thought that I would never get anywhere, and that I was doomed. It took a long, long time and a lot of persistence and a lot of applications and a lot of rejection before it paid off. Today was my first day at my new job with the state. I know that it's rough, and I know that it sucks. But you'll make it through this, I promise. Don't give up hope, don't give up trying. Don't give up. You're smart, you're skilled, and you're going to land on your feet. I know it.

Looks like this will be the year when I'll start applying to US and Canadian law schools, because my bar association membership and 9 years of PQE were both earned in a second world country. Am I correct in the assumption that work experience and LSAT will have to do the heavy lifting in my case, and that GPA will be pretty much irrelevant?

When I applied, the prep folks said LSAT/GPA were weighted about 70/30 respectively, but that was (goddamn) 13 years ago.

Its funny how conservatives always forget that the Courts and Police are actually part of the government they claim to want to disenfranchise.

That reminds me of the time a local lawyer no-showed a conference hearing for a guy's case. She called his office from the stand and unfortunately just got to leave a voicemail. It was still less than friendly. It's always wonderful to watch a judge rip into someone else.

this is just amazingquote:The Court then ordered the defendant to file an additional submission “identifying the specific date of the ‘imminent general release’ of the book.” Min. Order of Mar. 1, 2019. they decided to take a "sorry judge, you were too slow to rule on our motion to clarify so we just went ahead and did it" instead of a "sorry we goofed here is our groveling apology"

Roger Stone is attempting to: A) de-legitimizing the criminal proceedings against him because he will lose but wants Trumps base to be supportive of a pardon; B) He's treating the proceedings as a marketing event; or C) all of the above. The Judge's scolding really doesn't scare him because he has a pardon in his back pocket. (See Joe Arpaio) The harder she is on him, the more $$$ he makes. I can see the claims now: "In America, there is only one author in jail because of his book; buy the book they don't want you to read!"

She has some pretty big leeway with bond though right? She could forfeit his bond and require him to pay more and that won’t be affected by a pardon?
