Secrets that career services doesn't tell you: I googled the name of one of my interviewers and found out she was heavily involved in her church. I found a good bible verse and quoted it during the interview.

Do you all of IBRers who are married file your taxes married filing separately? I was always told it was an idiotic thing to do but leaving my wife's income out of the IBR calculation looks like it saves a few grand more than the tax hit.

I searched for legal jobs at some universities and one at the GW Office of General Counsel popped up and excited me. One requirement in the job description was that the applicant be someone graduating from GW Law in May 2014. The position was for one year. Wah wah. Kind of funny to think that they are staffing their OGC with their law students who couldn't get jobs elsewhere.

I'm suing you guys for having a legal discussion over the letter rather than laughing at this girl who demanded it.

Your hilarious/ridiculous lawsuit of the day, complete with a slam on the plaintiff's attorney: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/08/nyregion/a-fan-sleeps-at-a-game-wakes-up-and-sues-baseball.html?ref=sportsquote:The complaint was written in highly idiosyncratic and often ungrammatical English by Valentine A. Okwara, a lawyer from Jamaica, Queens, who was admitted to the bar in New York in 2013 and has a degree from the University of Buckingham in England, according to the Office of Court Administration.

Is there any super easy federal district court to be admitted into? For DC I have to be a DC bar member, or have to be a member of the district court of the state where I'm barred and where I practice. I practice in DC and am barred in Maryland. For Maryland you have to bring your sponsor to the admission ceremony, which is pretty stupid.

Kalman posted:Is there a reason you don't want to just waive into the DC bar (especially since you really have to, if you practice in DC...)? I work for the federal government, so I just need to be barred anywhere. My work will only pay for one state's yearly renewal, and I'm a cheap rear end. I guess I could join DC and let Maryland lapse, as it doesn't have any sort of useful reciprocity anyways, and I don't really ever plan to practice there. We do have some litigation starting, and for filing I'd obviously need to be admitted. Oh well, I guess we can just use the other attorney's name to file everything.

Lawyers, folks: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...42a2_story.htmlquote:But the prosecutor said that this was no ordinary burglary — it was something more sordid: revenge. And that the alleged perpetrators were a pair of lawyers, one of whom was angry over her recent dismissal from Fisher’s Arlington County firm, Bean, Kinney & Korman. Go to Valpo, get life in prison for torture.
