Depending on the circumstances, in particular the hourly and how much they are using them, an OC can be a reasonable decision, particularly for a small org.

Hello, lawgoons, I have a question that is probably Florida-specific.

In the next couple years, I expect a small company to wind down. It has some IP and a significant amount of existing regulatory engagement with the state of Florida. It will also possibly have possibly one (1) employee once that happens.

Surely the chassis can't be worth zero, right?

If y'all have any recommendations for Florida corp/business lawyers to talk to, I'd love to hear it. I don't even know what questions to ask about lawyers to advise us, never mind what questions to ask the lawyer.

Listen, DeSantis, Disney isn't a "small company" and Mickey is not the only employee. It's gonna be harder than that to make them go away.

Is the idea to sell it? You more want a banker than a lawyer when it comes to finding a buyer, though it may be too small to be worth hiring one.

Lawyers aren't really good at selling anything besides legal services and even there we are hit or miss.

My favourite part is the, "the court will begin by elaborating on bogus".

The claims were deemed "far-out" and "totally messed up" by the judge. The lawyer claims the approach used was "totally tubular, brah".

Hi Law Thread.

I'm doing my law school internship with Innocence Project Delaware for the summer as a fundraiser. I'm sure you'll all familiar with the great work the Innocence Project nationally does, but the local branch is quite new and underfunded. And that's unfortunate because Delaware locks up more people than any democracy on earth (besides America as a whole), and disproportionately incarcerates Black people who are 61% of the incarcerated population and 20% of the general population. Therefore, the backlog of work to be done in Delaware is immense, and cases going back to 1979 are being examined.

They have me raising $15,000 by the end of the summer, so I am coming to ask if any of you know of any attorneys who are passionate about criminal justice, and would be will to help out. You can learn more from this article, donate here, or read this thread about the fundraising efforts on this website.

Thanks for any help you an give.

Your summer internship in law school is to raise money for a legal non-profit?

I'm an organizer first and foremost, that's my skillset. I don't intend to practice law traditionally as I mostly just want the degree to continue to help leftist causes through means I've used in the past. This is the perfect intersection of law and organizing for me.

So the short answer is yes.

Why did you go to law school instead of just organizing/raising money for various non-profits. Non-profit development is an available career path that doesn't require student loans.

1. Delaware Law School was cheaper than my college degree by a substantial amount due to my grades and past history. It's not "cheap", but it's worth the cost at the very least. It's also pretty easy and low stress for me.
2. I don't necessarily want to work in the non-profit sphere. I just want to use the degree as much as I can to do work on the left, as I've done before. How that future will exactly shape out is of course not clear, but I know from experience that jobs exist that would utilize my degree and past experience.

Unless things have changed since I took the bar, because Delaware doesn't waive other jurisdictions in, you don't get waived in anywhere else. You'll probably need to take the bar twice anyway.

Delaware is among the most restrictive bars and doesn't waive, nor has it ever.

I don't think you're wrong, I just think that kind of work will break my brain (further). If I practice traditionally, it'll probably be criminal defense, immigrant, or tenants rights.

Im still think DE chancery local counsel works here. Tenant work can be found in abundance helping an Amazon subsidiary declare bankruptcy to break a lease for a 1 million sq ft warehouse. Work will only increase with the impending collapse of commercial real estate
