Discendo Vox posted:reposting from old thread: Hey, don't worry buddy. I just have a Masters too (of law though). I like your posts. That was a great op, fantastic in fact. Though I do love that everyone in the old thread started immediately suggesting revisions like they were emailing a first year assosciate. You got me pegged for sure, but in case someone should ever want actual advice relating to norwegian law, law school and practicing law as a mid-small independent attourney I have a specialty in crim law and human rights but mostly do specialty crim defender, municipal law litigation and complaints, property, private claims and just sometimes random poo poo the others won't do. I'm great at random poo poo. Also I moonlight as a realtor sometimes, because I can. Nice piece of fish fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Aug 8, 2018 |

Alexeythegreat posted:I already have a Swedish LLM and no, Swedish firms don't care. European firms that aren't Beiten Burkhardt are in the same position, just scaled down a bit. Or a lot. Well, it's not so strange swedish firms don't care much as an LLM wouldn't normally be enough to practice law as a jurist. As far as I know, the swedes have all kinds of silly ideas. I didn't even know they offered LLMs. How did you come to study law in Sweden anyway? Regardless, there has to be some opportunity for you to aquire rights to practice in the EU at least. Have you considered Finland? I believe they have LLMs, speak swedish, have vodka, are part of the EU and are nearby to you.

Vox Nihili posted:Finally, so glad the awkward stage is behind us. I'm sorry, but you'll find that the awkward stage as a norwegian starts at birth and then it deteriorates from there. Forever. blarzgh posted:Yeah, my return says, "Personal Service" on "[Individual]". So substituted service, no posting, no room for interpretation, and I can't believe it by the dude literally wasn't there. That's weird. We have a municipal arbitration council which is a non-law first tier (often mandatory) step before you can file a case with the courts. Like a pro se bonanza. It fucks up everything, all the time. The best part is that it is immune to procedural objections (because they are all idiot lay people and don't know and can't follow civil procedure) and they serve people by simple mail. Yeah, they send you a letter and if you don't get it, sucks to be you because then they have an unlimited ability to render summary judgement against you. Whupsy! And every mail fuckup is considered a procedural issue. Which you can't do anything about except file a full lawsuit within a month of judgement. Which you might not know about. I hate them so much.

Mr. Nice! posted:Presidential pardon power is basically unlimited and no one challenged it. The only challenges to the pardon power historically just say that a pardon has to be publicly accepted and that it cannot be forced on someone. Well sure, but it's not really that crazy per se. If you accept a pardon you also declare your guilt, do you not? In which case a presidential pardon is judge, jury and executioner for that particular criminal act only the punishment is... nothing. So long as the pardon itself is limited in scope to only potential crimes in this particular period, within the president's authority window as it were, I don't see that it's particularly problematic in and of itself. lol I'm just loving kidding what kind of a mickey loving mouse constitution allows past and future blanket pardons the idiot could be pardoning murder and rape for all he knows

Alexeythegreat posted:GDPR sucks and one of the tertiary reasons I left work was that I knew that I'd be the one to have to draft data protection documents for whenever we advise someone from the EU, which was like 3/4 of our work This poo poo is loving ridiculous, I have to make a mile wide paper trail of information security compliance even though I by criminal law and attourney ethics am obligated to never give out any loving information at all as a basic function of my work. Oh I have to pinkie swear I won't sell my client's tax return to google on this here 45 page disclaimer? Well good, that certainly stops me from doing something that I'd be in prison for a year over. The absolute idiocy and draconic loving bullshit way this is implemented is mind-boggling. Particularly since at the same time, money laundering laws just tightened up and I'm not only now legally required to retain incredible amounts of personal and financial information for ages and give them up to the government at the drop of a hat but also at the same time I'm completely disallowed to do those things and obligated to delete this information upon request.

ActusRhesus posted:Yeah. Had meeting with victim yesterday which was... a lot of emotions. Nice kid. I wish him well, and it was nice to hear him say he appreciated the work we put in. But thinking about everything he went through is depressing as gently caress. His victim impact statement was superb. Still a rough case Bc of the behind the scenes poo poo Had a juvenile attempted murder/rape case where I filed for state compensation to victims of violence and abuse on behalf of the very young victim and the family where I had to in detail describe the sequence of events, submit the forensic medical findings and criminal case documents with illustrations and based on that recommend and justify a [size] claim from case law. Probably the closest I've come so far to just say gently caress it and work a loving cash register job instead. It's just not worth it, though major kudos to anyone who can stomach this stuff on the reg to help the victims. VVV Yeah, that's the thing that horrifies me about prosecution. Unfair, bullshit aquittals I can handle, but I know for a fact these kinds of cases give me nightmares. I hope this is a very minor part of your specific job.

SlyFrog posted:Thanks, I appreciate it. To be clear, I've seen four psychiatrists over a little less than the last ten years. As a deteriorating anxiety ball, I'm honestly having the most trouble dealing with how I think people perceive me and the general cost of failure. I can't seem to let go of result anxiety as if there's anything I can realistically do (other than litigate competently) to affect the outcome of a case than what I'm already doing. There might be, but I don't have the training, the tutelage nor the resources to deliver a perfect performance. As a central personality trait, I constantly measure myself up to some platonic ideal of absolute perfection and naturally I always fall short, which I feel like I'm constantly waiting to be punished for. I know that's hosed up and unrealistic and that I can't do anything about it, but that doesn't stop me. What I'm learning is that all this mental stress is out of my control much like a broken leg won't work no matter how hard I might try. So, my plan is to change the only thing I can change, which is my circumstances. I plan to find a new job doing something where I have actual stability and a more predictable metric of success, change my personal habits back towards more healthy things and try to regain some measure of personal satisfaction in my professional life and my personal life. It sounds to me like you're already doing the needful things you have to to get better, and that your circumstances are changed and are changing for you either voluntarily or involuntarily. I've also been told that the deeper the pit has been dug, the longer it takes to climb out. To me, that says you're on the right trajectory towards whatever you need for your situation to improve and you're actively working towards improving it by making an effort in all sorts of directions. That means you're doing exactly what you should. Keep at trying, and remember to have patience with yourself because the road might be long. And if it all goes to poo poo there's always drug dealing.
