My dream at this point is to do a divorce for a rich executive and they hire me for their business and I go get an MBA and jump ship somewhere else.

the hertz bankruptcy first day hearing is happening today video is happening on zoom, but audio is not, it's on courtcall about five people did not get the memo on that, and somehow keep hijacking the screen to draw "PLEASE TURN ON AUDIO" and cannot hear the judge telling them to knock it off and register for courtcall the judge (or someone else) appears to, about fifteen minutes of this repeatedly happening, have found the "shut off this person's ability to share screen" button

there was also a very senior partner at a very big firm profusely apologizing because they fled new york and forgot to bring a suit, so they are appearing on video in court in a multi-billion dollar bankruptcy looking like an old jersey shore goon with just a collared shirt, no tie, no suit (because they don't have either)

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to everyone who gave me advice as to handling getting fired last week. I've already gotten a new job at a fancier firm making more money, so at least one covid-19 job loss story didn't have a sad ending.

This whole COVID mess has made it clear that I don't actually want to practice law (at least insurance defense). As I pay off more and more of my student debt, I'm noticing that i'm growing exponentially less motivated by money. My family has been really good about not having "life style creep" and I don't buy anything other than random electronics or games to play on those electronics. In about a year and a half, most of the debt will be gone and I'll be able to take a job that pays much less. What the hell can non-practicing lawyers do for a living? I'm considering going back to school to be a computer toucher but I've heard the work/life balance is just as hosed as law. Any ideas for an exit plan?

I'd do data science and learn to program python for health insurance companies to determine who to kill. Maybe we'll open a Jewtalian deli together. The scuttlebutt is that in 2022, there's going to be a republican lashback in Dallas County and a lot of ex-judges are gonna run as republican. Maybe get in on that.

Pook Good Mook posted:I speak for everyone here, gently caress that kid Everyone in law school (including most professors) is just cargo culting what they think a lawyer sounds like. In the real world, I had a temporary orders hearing recently where OC introduced a text message between two non-parties, neither of which were even present: Me: Objection, hearsay. Opposing counsel: Judge, this is a family law hearing. Me: Uh, that's not an exception to hearsay. The rules of evidence still apply. No one is even here to say the messages are accurate! Court: True, but I'll allow it in anyways and give the evidence its due weight. Law school should teach you how to draft an airtight retainer agreement and account for your time in 0.1 hour increments. Everything else is just window dressing.

No joke, family law judges will do this when they're about to gently caress over one side. Completely ignoring objections and actual law and predicate when they've made up their mind and ruling everything in favor of one side, then just completely ratfucking them on a ruling. I once objected to literally everything oc put on as evidence in a county I didn't know the judge in. He didn't respond to discovery. I let him have one picture of a diaper rashed butthole because "If you want to show the judge a 2 year old's diaper rash, go ahead." Oc didn't get to put on any witnesses besides his client. And then the judge ratfucked my client. And then smiled at me and said "if you don't like it, appeal it."

I'm real far from the cowboy lawyer. And when judges do that poo poo to me, I get real folksy and southern. "Judge, if we knew what the heck he was asking for, we'd give it to him."

Some extremely compelling photos in the last round (that I'm now calling "green", since some of the trees had four legs). Next prompt: old.  This building is near my house, and I think now operates as essentially a homeless shelter. 1852 isn't old in the scheme of things (including Australian history, which is about 50,000 years, give or take), but Victoria was settled in 1834, so by Anglo Australian standards, it's up there.
