Abugadu posted:Also check if your state has what's known as a 'direct action' statute that allows you to sue the insurer as well as the negligent party without having to jump through the hoops of exhausting every possible remedy against the insured first. I was going to post this--direct action is the poo poo (for plaintiffs) Like this oil spill, basically every lawsuit is like "Pierre Boudreaux d/b/a Bayou Shrimpers v. British Petroleum, Transocean, ABC Insurance Company, DEF Insurance Company, XYZ Insurance Company, et al."

Petey posted:- Julian Dibbell, YLS '13 From my first introduction to the internet---playing "gently caress You, rear end in a top hat" in Ahrnold's voice in Trekkie chatrooms on AOL---the web has been a place of ruthlessly loving with people and being full of poo poo. So when I had to read that dumbass thing in undergrad in some composition class, and the teacher was talking seriously about a girl crying because her wizard queen was cyberraped by a clown on a text-only game, you can imagine how seriously I took it.

also all of that poo poo about not talking, refusing consent etc. is good in theory, but say "officer I respectfully choose to exercise my rights, and I refuse to consent to a search" to a cop who wants to arrest you and you will be going to jail regardless. he'll call the K-9 unit. he'll trump up something to arrest you on and do an inventory search. don't matter one bit. say "go ahead," and maybe he won't find that joint wedged between the seat and the console.

the question is argumentative and assumes facts not in evidence. however, in the interest of judicial economy and not waiving my objection, my answer is as follows: no.

Once as a law clerk I did some research and brought my results to the partner who asked for it and he let me finish and said "You sure?" Being full of gumption myself, I said yes. "Positive?" "Yes." He smiled at me with a weird glint in his eye. "Do you want to bet your job on it?" poo poo. Can't back down now. "Yes." Of course I was wrong but he didn't fire me. That guy ruled.

Here's a great job listing on Tulane's career services listservquote:Pro se litigant needs recent JD not yet licensed to do research for various civil cases. Can only afford $10/hr. Access to legal search engine like Lexis required. Thanks Tulane! $150,000 gets you $10/hr (as long as your free Lexis account lasts!)

Kase Im Licht posted:Mostly involves reading emails and things attached to emails, sometimes just the contents of a hard drive, using special software developed for this purpose. Large corporation has to produce docs to the government (antitrust 2nd request usually), or to the opposing party in a litigation of some sort. Sometimes they do keyword searches and filter by types of doc to cut down on the # to look through. Sometimes they do not. We read though them to check for relevance to whatever is going on, and if relevant, check if it needs to be withheld or redacted because of attorney-client privilege or trade secrets/irrelevant info contained in the same email. Depending on the types of docs, who's running it, and how much accuracy they want, you're reviewing 30-120 documents per hour. Sometimes all you have to do is decide relevant/irrelevant. Sometimes they want levels of relevance, and for you to check if it relates to 60 different subject matter tags. I think you missed the point of his post. He doesn't need the nuts and bolts, but you can take those nuts and bolts and put them together in a more interesting way to explain why you would be a good lawyer and not just a doc reviewer. Explain all that in a valuable way, as in what type of privilege you were looking for, what type of cases it was one, how you crafted a search tool that screened for items with 99% accuracy, supervised other attorneys and were the client contact on various projects... Put it this way, as a hiring partner at a firm I don't give a poo poo that you looked through electronic documents and flagged stuff, but I am interested to know the subject matter and complexity of the documents and how you used your legal expertise to determine what to flag.

CmdrSmirnoff posted:gently caress. Basically the only firm in the area that does admiralty is hiring an articling student. How can I spin my criminal/regulatory experience and course load in a way that won't get me laughed out of there? It doesn't help that my school offers next to no classes in that field. This is your cover letter: Dear Hiring Partner: We have fed our sea for a thousand years And she calls us, still unfed, Though there's never a wave of all her waves But marks our English dead: We have strawed our best to the weed's unrest, To the shark and the sheering gull. If blood be the price of admiralty, Lord God, we ha' paid in full! Cordially, Commander Smirnoff

Seriously, saying "I went to Boalt" is like labeling yourself a pencil neck chode. Go to Cal and when people ask you where you went tell them "Cal" or "UC Berkeley" if they're not from California.

Kase Im Licht posted:Had my first bar complaint. That was fun. Mostly BS. Not that we acted totally perfectly, but nothing is an ethical issue that I see. Bar didn't even open a formal investigation, just got a letter telling me to work this out with the client and tell them how the conversation went. Mostly it was just a (successful) attempt by the client to get out of paying our contingency fee. Ho ho, you popped your cherry!
