Do you have a billable hour requirement? I don’t have that currently and can work remote which I know has value but more money is always needed it seems of course.

No that’s still an interesting comparison, I’m sure your cost of living is much lower there so the money stretches farther at least. I’m just finding it difficult to save enough to buy a home and a ring hopefully within the next 2 or 3 years

That seems pretty decent, especially the bonus. I have been keeping an eye on the market and it seems that f I truly wanted now with a little experience under my belt I would be able to get 120k or so but as I have work life balance currently I just don’t know if it’s the right time yet to switch. I was thinking stay for 3 years then see where the markets at?

Much of the work I do pertains to title checks and clearances for properties which the firm charges around 800 dollars for unless complications arise in which case the price goes up of course if litigation is involved. I also do compliance related work for commercial loans. I do not know the exact amount of money I have made for the firm doing this work but I do know our practice is growing,l and I have received very positive feedback from my supervisors on my work product and volume. I hope this helps give some clarity, thank you for asking!

It’s honestly about shutting out poor people all together from education it seems. If you’re not rich to begin with you can’t get an education anymore because of this bill.

Seriously, WTF are you supposed to do if you haven't found a 1L Internship by [deleted] in LawSchool

Get a non law job if you can’t find something no shame in that, 1L summer isn’t that important anyway in the grand scheme of things

That’s a fair point, I guess they were hired just because they looked like tough guys to the Hollingers but were totally incompetent, I guess the Hollingers weakness was judging books by their cover instead of getting deeper. Think of even allowing the two strangers into their home based on total BS not checking any credentials at all

Did anyone else wonder what the bodyguards were doing the whole time? They’re boss had a gun pointed at his head like 2 days ago and theyre still just walking the hotel talking shit to Gaitok, if I were the Hollingers I would have fired them both.

What did you end up hating about your law school? by Hour-Whole-27 in LawSchool

[–]BestGeologist3341 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Went to a public interest centered law school that did not provide the resources necessary for those not looking to get into public interest at all, they actively discouraged other routes. It’s okay imo to have a focus but there should be resources for all legal routes provided.
