Mr. Nice! posted:It is always getting worse because pay is always decreasing as workload increases. Twice a year, tens of thousands of new lawyers get admitted across the nation and gleefully fill up poo poo positions for poo poo pay because there is far more supply than demand. It was a lot less stressful paywise when I worked for the govt despite the lower pay, bc that's how much I hate having to figure out what is the proper way to do billing. Been at it for a couple mths now and after apparently billing too much now im as timid as a church mouse, scrunched what I really did into much more narrowed 6 min increments. Hopefully I'll get the hang of it. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 14:08 on Oct 30, 2021 |

evilweasel posted:the thing is that all sounds bad but you gotta remember it is after college so uh it’s kind of an improvement for many people That and expectations. A lot of people are in way worse professions, but the law profession is full of people (and I'm the same way honestly) that would rather focus on how much they're not living up to what they think they should be, instead of what they have. It's something endemic in the profession.

builds character posted:Sure, for doc review but I guess I’m also thinking about reviewing (and then, in fairness, negotiating) a credit agreement or an underwriting agreement or something like that. Maybe that’s entirely outside what we’re talking about? But I have a hard time seeing something like that get handed over to AI in the foreseeable future. In my transactional work with start ups I'm constantly having to edit or redo clauses and other chicanery depending on the whims of my clients. Hard to see that being replaced by AI.

There is so much muck and useless verbiage in your average contract it's insane. But I mostly just roll my eyes if that's what the other party wants to start the process at, as long as its not actively hurting my client. But keeping up with blogs that go into poo poo like this: https://www.adamsdrafting.com/inure/, and it's like contracts are just built up over the years to be lovely in general, and to no one in particular.

Xenochrist posted:Perhaps because it is so easy for them to win in most cases that they get a feedback loop and don't ever evaluate/change/improve their trial strategy? I dunno. The only reason why Chauvin got convicted is because the state's AG pulled the case after the laughable first complaint by the local prosecutor. It's like they put their biggest yokes on these types of cases

I feel like I'm relatively tech savy and have a decent resume, but I am over 40 and other than generic complex litigation experience have nothing to offer on the privacy front. I'm gonna take the CIPP next gear. And I've touched on a lot of privacy contracts in tech. I dunno
