First they complain about too many people incarcerated, then a solution presents itself and they complain about THAT! Those libs just can't be satisfied

I haven't finished BotW either! Probably won't any time soon, either. Persona 5 Royal comes out at the end of the month.

Didn’t mean to fight him, but it was easy enough. What are you supposed to do to him on his final phase where he climbs the wall invulnerable? I just cheesed by dodging until urbosa’s fury reset and dropping him off the wall with that. Also if you haven’t mounted any lynels yet, do you even ride, bro?

Love when lawyers (sometimes even partners) admit under oath that they have little to no understanding of what litigation entails. Did you know you had to make initial disclosures by [DATE] under Rule 16.1? No. Do you know what a "litigation hold" is? No. Real nice meritocracy we got going here.

I was at a park downtown with my kid last year and struck up a convo with another dad who was a biglaw attorney who had a couple of years of practice on me. He beamed with pride when he told me he was finally going to get to sit first chair in deposition the coming week, lol.

To be fair, you don't really learn a lot of these practical things in law school, and if you only do transaction work, it can be a while until you run into things like litigation holds. There is some letter commonly referred to by a specific number (I cannot remember, but I'm not talking about letter with a Rule 408 legend) that is also a routine part of litigation that I remember only learning about years later when I was a partner.

I've done more actual litigation in six months of public defense than I did in twelve years of nonprofit civil rights law. Like, exponentially more, it isnt even close. More in a week now than in a year then.

So the school I'm applying to has character & fitness in the application. I have a couple of minor municipal citations, but I don't have records of them, and the nice policeman I talked to when I went to request my RAP sheet said that they wouldn't have records for anything that didn't require a fingerprint being taken. Think it'll be alright if I fudge the dates on the application to the best of my recollection (explaining the circumstances for my uncertainty, of course), or should I figure out how to wade through my state & city records law to find the date of my piss ticket?

joat mon posted:Fudging is done with bad intent. Don't do that on a C&F submission. Do this. Consider also contacting the justice court in the jurisdictions where you received the citations and asking them for records. If they don't have anything, include the diligence you did in your explanation why it's an estimate.

How the hell do they prosecute anything? Someone has to have something somewhere.

Well, the administrative hearing office's website makes it sound like the only way to get those records is a full-on FOIA, which sounds like a big ol' pain in the rear end and would also put my name and record on their public FOIA log. I emailed the office about the process, and hopefully there's an easier method.

Maybe I'm just not  enough but what are the downsides of being placed in a "public FOIA log," assuming such a thing exists?I mean, if someone's put in a log and then denied subsequent FOIA requests based solely on being in such a log, sounds like a potential 1983 plaintiff to me.

Unamuno posted:Maybe I'm just not Well, yeah, fair enough. The wait time for the request is the only downside with any real weight. Having it be displayed in the city's online record of FOIA requests is a pretty minor annoyance at worst. Edit: And now that I actually look at the FOIA request log for administrative hearings, it looks like the only information displayed is the date of request & fulfillment.

My law school and state bars did not want anything from my one mistake (minor in possession). Weirdly, the patent office did want full records. I ended up having to FOIA the local police department, and they did have something.

I put my arrest on mine even though I couldn't remember the date, or find any records of said arrest. I did not mention that I was in my underwear when I got arrested, however.

Boy howdy I love getting a voicemail overnight from the head of human resources ordering me to draft a termination without cause letter ASAP and offering an unconscionably low severance to a 31y service employee with no performance issues, to be delivered this morning, without ever bothering to ask Legal if it's a good idea.

Hey cool tip for lawyers dealing with government: if you're asking someone for a favour, don't make a veiled threat of legal action if they don't do it, especially when they're not under any legal obligations and it's your client who would be found to be in the wrong if it came to a courtroom! A better idea is to go gently caress yourself.

Whitlam posted:A better idea is to go gently caress yourself. Currently dicking around a power company that's threatening questionable legal action over a lease of public property that's pretty guaranteed to be outside the statute of limitations. Gonna see how far I can stall them before they seek actual legal representation. Meanwhile, corona has me confined to quarters, meetings are cancelled and it's gonna be videoconferences from here on in. Which is gonna make it hard to get my needful signatures  Think I'm gonna go to the cabin for a while.

It's just so loving dumb. If they'd come to us and said "hey we need your help with this", we'd have bent over backwards for them. Instead, in literally our first contact, they threatened imaginary proceedings, and pissed us off. Great job repping your client, mate. I don't have a cabin but I might be putting an offer in on a house this/early next week. Right before the market collapses.
