Hot Dog Day #91 posted:I got home at midnight last night. My dog was super happy to see me.then a thunderstorm hit at 2am. I had to lay in the guest bed cuddling him while he shook in terror for three hours. This morning he knocked my kid over to steal his Graham cracker. Your dog sounds exactly like a toddler. Of course, toddlers are assholes, too.

I'm a groomsman at a wedding this weekend. Tonight was the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and the whole time I couldn't stop looking at my phone worried about e-mails regarding some upcoming expert depositions. Pretty hosed up imo.

So for selecting classes, in what order would you rank the following criteria: useful for bar, useful for practice, interest in the subject, time/day of class, easy grading/workload, something else?

Easy grading 1.5. Not attendance (may not apply if 6 is in play) 2. No curve classes (aka small classes with no lovely profs) 3. Grading based on not exams. Clinics, trial practice, bullshit paper courses. 4. Exam is multiple choice (final semester of 3rd year, I had one class with an exam and it was multiple choice) 5. Something you can talk about in an interview 6. Interesting -- don't laugh, I had a couple.

Nonexistence posted:MSM, you've been practicing four years, right? What region you in and what was your school and practice area? About to go through the vale of tears myself and would like perspectives. 7 now! Illinois (Chicago) and I went to school here as well at one of the lovely not-t14s (loyola). When I got out in '08 there were no jobs and it took me an entire year to even get into doc review, things were that bad. Then I ended up getting drunk at a friend's place (who I was considering hooking up with) and after she passed out had more beers with a dude who got me into foreclosure law. Wow! And I probably need to go to a career transition center or something because my resume isn't working well, but this freaking 6 week old baby is draining me of every bit of energy I have (I feed him throughout the night and most of the day) and why won't you just sleep in your bassinet baby! WhY! Anyways fun stuff , a friend of mine I've mentioned here (Penn grad, class of '08, got laid off in the crash and has done doc review for the last 5 years) invited me to a facebook group where lots of job postings are. The sad part is that all the doc review gigs pay a lot less than they did 6 years ago, which is really kind of pathetic. But here 's a fun one: https://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/lgl/5519034908.html " Attorney needed for temporary work ASAP. Must have USA passport; be able to travel for long periods of time. " So the person who runs the group was like hey you know what this might be hilarious and went and inquired, got this response: quote:Thank you for your resume. We need an attorney to go to Russia as soon as possible. Our law firm, Ribbeck Law, is currently doing work related to the last 2 plane crash of Russian airliners. And here's what happened w/ the interview: quote:Then when I met with her yesterday at a Starbucks, the meeting didn't last very long and was very weird. She asked me about my general background, then told me they wanted someone to go with them (she and her brother run the firm) to Russia ASAP to meet with their clients from the most recent 2 Russian air crashes. She said they wanted someone who was very flexible and willing to work very long hours at the start and that things go less hectic as time went on. She said then the person they choose will go to Russia again later on their own to update clients. Bonus: multiple other people in the group had interviewed with the exact same firm, back when the Malaysian flight thing happened. Double bonus: The attorney got ARDC charges brought against her for filing frivolous pleadings regarding said flight. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-chicago-lawyer-malaysia-airlines-suit-20140805-story.html mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Apr 4, 2016 |

MSM, here's another Chicago thing maybe you know more about. Was there anything in local bar news about a Lane Legal Services? It sounds like a really small firm. An alert I run on Westlaw sent me a case this morning with a law firm suing a departing lawyer (who is in his mid-20s) for stealing computer equipment and client information:quote:(a) Client contact information and lists that contain confidential client information, representing Plaintiffs' considerable efforts to develop and maintain client relationships and loyalty over the course of many years; Somehow this dude hasn't been disciplined by the Illinois bar yet. He moved to Texas. Cite is 2016 WL 1271051 if anyone is interested. Plaintiffs claims survived a motion to dismiss largely intact. Pretty funny backstory. The guy worked for the plaintiff during law school, lied about other offers to get employment there, and even convinced them to front him $55k for his student loans by complaining about them all the time.

Was the best man for one of my really great friends at the most unbelievable wedding I've ever experienced on Saturday. Truly a life-changing experience from start to finish. All I could think about Sunday as I billed 16 hours was how much work I missed out on getting done by participating at that wedding. I don't think I can continue to do this job to be honest.
