If I'm leaving my job for another job, am I obligated to knowledge transfer the old one? I feel like they just want to make me stupid busy before I leave, and I'm balancing a dayjob alongside my side gig contract. I'm also contract specifically contract with ye olde job and already handed in my 2 week notice. Like....is that something they can legally require me to do? Spend 2 weeks on a knowledge transfer?

So my boss is retiring and I'm not technically but am basically taking over his practice, moving space, building walls in a new space, being on the hook for things. buying printers It is terrifying. I don't want to be a businessperson I just want to open and close files and embarrass cops on the stand. Why is this happening?

Spend 2 weeks on a knowledge transfer? it seems unlikely they can legally compel you to work, given the 13th amendment and all the simple answer is probably "no, but nothing compels them to pay you either instead of just firing you"

Sounds like you've lucked into a substantial degree of success! Make sure to track down an invite to the secret discord for successful lawyers (as opposed to that other one). Also, gently caress printers forever. The second we installed some new ink (extra larger reservoirs!) for our home printer (now also the de facto office printer) it immediately bricked without any sort of warning.

Snark side: I'm pretty sure knowledge transfer wasn't in my scope and I'm not opposed to trying to leave politely, but naturally doing my agreed upon responsibilities are obviously in scope. So that's kinda why I was asking. I wouldn't care if the owner wasn't an onerous dude who is capable of turning 30 minute meetings into 6 hours (thus leaving). If I start knowledge transfer beyond basics it would stretch past my 2 week notice. Easily. I've been typing it up because they would rather I have a recorded videoconference and I'm not going to do that.

Knowledge transfer is not in any employees scope of duties because it’s only something you do when you leave a job. Counterpoint: it’s squarely in your scope because you’re describing and summarizing what you do and what you’ve been working on. If you gave two weeks, you work two weeks or you leave early. Do a lovely job at knowledge transfer if you want. It’s not really a legal question unless you are employed by contract, and then probably still not a legal question.

I finally replaced my Brother laser that I bought in 2008 last year. I prrrrobably could have fixed it again (it was jamming frequently, probably an internal spring wore out like the previous time I fixed it) but it was hitting the point of being harder to find toner for it. 10/10, would (and did) buy Brother again.

Must be nice to be able to get a printer without having to fill out a form 27B-6 to have one issued from the centralized printer depository.

Buy an old (maybe pre-2006) HP B&W laserjet. I'm still on my 2002 HP 1300LJ. I have had to replace the pick pad, which cost all of 5 bucks. If you can find one with a replaced fuser, you'll get at least 20 years out of it. Recommend getting one from the era of USB (or has an ethernet jack) because lol getting a good print server with parallel in 2021.

Has anybody here ever tried to get a deposition subpoena in Texas for an out-of-state case? I think I need a Court Clerk to issue the subpoena after I get an order from the Court where the action is pending, but I can’t figure out the procedure for how that is supposed to be done and none of the Clerks I’ve spoken to have any idea what I’m talking about.

I assumed since you posted in here that you were a lawyer asking about leaving a lawyer job. I was trying to understand what “knowledge transfer” would be under those circumstances.

I'm taking a break from my regular idiotic shitposting to say that: 1. I hate law school 2. Evidence rules in general and hearsay in particular make no sense. 3. Doing bail arguments over Zoom is very stressful the first time you do it. I would want access to the magical SA law discord but I don't have platinum, so I have to post this here.

Procedure, especially discovery rules, are like 95% of my actual work as a public defender. Does the prosecution have their poo poo together, or not? If they do my guy is usually boned! But they usually don't!

I will say that Evidence (including hearsay) make substantially more sense once you see them in operation, compared to the abstract nonsense you talk about in class. Same goes for most procedure rules where you realize that the "good cause" sentence in most deadlines is the phrase that does the heavy lifting in 90% of cases.

Pook Good Mook posted:I will say that Evidence (including hearsay) make substantially more sense once you see them in operation, compared to the abstract nonsense you talk about in class. Ayup. Also you have to realize that "good cause" has no meaning in case law, and it's entirely up to the trial judge. Meaning it really just means whatever other lawyers in the vicinity think is normal.

Arcturas posted:Ayup. For example, deadlines for depositions are aspirational at best. Same goes for pre-trial motions. Granted this is criminal court where just about every rule will get ignored so long as a criminal defendant feels like they're getting due process. I realize that's different in federal court. But criminal state court is governed by the only rule that matters: What will it take to get this loving case done and off the docket and how long will that take?

Most everything in litigation makes more sense once you’ve seen it in practice, and especially once you’ve seen a case from beginning to end. Depositions make more sense when you see how they are used in a motion for summary judgment or to impeach a witness at trial.
