A battle of store-brand Scalias is pretty cool, but that one had too many pages.

The article makes good points but I think we’re pretty far from the triumvirate era, arguably we haven’t even beat Tiberius to death with a table leg yet (in the modern era at least, I think there is a distinct separation in pre and post 14th amendment America)

BigHead posted:Goddamn that strikeout list in Alito's dissent is brutal to read (edit: page 17 of the dissent). He's just so callous about the way he describes terrible discrimination. He gives no fucks about literally crossing gay people off a list of acceptable human beings. Alito has been an embarrassment since day one. He's by far the worst and most nakedly lazy on the court at hiding how empty his philosophy is.

Are there any paralegals here? Do you enjoy your job? I've been a nurse for the last 10 years and want to transition to a new career path. I would think that experience would be helpful somewhere.

Paralegals are too busy to be allowed to post. Go to law school instead. I'm kidding don't go to law school FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T DO IT

Nonexistence posted:Nurse to paralegal should be the other way around Nah, nursing is more physically demanding. If you're used to cleaning up messes left by doctors and dealing with demanding patients, cleaning up (virtual) messes left by attorneys and dealing with demanding clients isn't much of a stretch, just you're doing it from a desk and a computer rather than a nurse's station in a decaying hospital.

All my paralegals say they love their job, and the work environment, especially because we keep the cages spotless and the water bottles filled up.

I would think that experience would be helpful somewhere. There are ways to transfer in to the law as a nurse without being a paralegal. It's essentially consultant work, but you can also be somewhat of a case manager. What a paralegal does is a moving target depending on the firm/company you're with too. So I don't think with your nursing background you would need extra schooling to get a foot in the door. Any paralegal they want you to do would be secondary to your nursing expertise and experience.

Real Talk: Mom's been a nurse for 35 years, i've had paralegals for 10. 1. Obvs. no blood and piss in the legal department, and no hauling 3 dove patients out of wheelchairs. 2. Not usually a hard clock-in/clock-out at the law firm; some places its very common you need to stay late several times a week. 3. Probably more stress as a paralegal, unless you were like an ER nurse or something, but its not that bad. This is a world of conflict, however, so dealing with conflict even by osmosis or proximity is part of the job. 4. The actual work is 100% administrative. The higher up you go, the more autonomy and decision-making you will do, but even then is 90% follow the flow chart. 5. The work is usually interesting! As long as you're not working at a car-wreck mill of a firm, you will take on dozens of unique, interesting cases every year. 5.5. That said, the stuff you do on every case is generally the same thing. Prep and mail the same letters, sort and index documents, prepare the same shells for documents, receive and catalogue things that get filed, calendar dates and deadlines as they come in. Sort of like, you're always jogging (doing the same things), but you're constantly jogging past new and interesting places (different cases.) 6. Dealing with clients is as bad as you imagine sometimes, and just like patients you'll have your favorites, and you'll have the ones you'll groan about every time they call. 7. You do the billing and invoices here. Generally, you are the billing department (unless you're in house or gov't). This takes up anywhere from 5-25% of your time. 8. Family and Criminal can be brutal. Not the work, per se, but the things you're going to learn about people. You may already know the world is poo poo, but now you get to meet all the poo poo. All that said, pretty much all the paralegals I've worked with are generally much happier and mentally stable than the lawyers, lol. And the office environment will have the most to do with whether you like your job or not. You work with good people, you'll like your job.

blarzgh posted:Real Talk: This is all true. I'd add that paralegals are chronically underpaid, because lawyers are stingy and because lawyers are bad at getting value out of paralegals. Half the places I've worked at, paralegals have billable hour expectations (usually significantly lower than lawyers because a lot of paralegal work is nonbillable) - say, 1300-1400 hours or so? In theory that's a bunch of revenue for the firm if the paralegal is billed at $150/hr. In practice clients fight against paying paralegals and so the revenue is significantly lower. But lawyers know they need paralegals etc. So paralegal salaries can range from $40k to $80-90k depending on the firm and all sorts of stuff. But that, to me, is well within the nurse pay range. So don't jump ship expecting to make more money.
