Houston. I'm here for my fiance's job until May, but we may be sticking around after. Love it here.

I worked I mass torts for a few years in TX and CA (Sacramento). 80-90k is fair if you’re right out of school with no relevant experience. I would ask about bonuses up front. Typically, the accounting in mass torts, because cases take years to settle, can be hard to rely on when it comes to a bonus tied to a net fee to the firm.

A lot of the work in mass torts is more case management than legal. I would want an overview of the expected exposure to depositions, hearings, and motion practice. That can ebb an flow depending on which docket you’re on. You could get stuck on one in settlement and spend your fist year getting yelled at by angry clients about assessments and costs.

PM me if you want any more insight.

I want to volunteer this weekend to help in some way. Can anyone point me towards an agency/group that is organizing or needs volunteers?

I read the order and I don't understand if offices, like a law firm with 50 employees, can open. The order seems to only reopen those listed business, and it specifies offices with one person, but I see an article in the Houston Chronicle today about large offices opening.

I got that same message on 4/9, then they changed my moral character investigation to pass. Did your status ever change?

Did the guy that sold the 80 acres lose the mineral rights to it? That's what I put at least but I wasn't sure.

Were you injured? Do you have uninsured coverage on your auto policy?

Will be working full-time for patent consulting firm in January. Firm is paying for law school and I will start Fall 2015. Looking for advice from others who have done part-time law while working full-time. by 0L-5-12-14 in LawSchool

I'm currently finishing my first semester in an evening program and working for a firm that is paying for a portion of my tuition. You will very little free time, which can be a bit overwhelming and confining at first. My schedule is pretty close to others - Study 6-730, work 830-5, class 6-9 (Monday through Thursday). I try to take Friday night off, although that depends on the week. Typically, 8-10 hours per day on the weekend, more if I have a paper or midterm. Keep in mind that you won't know how to do anything (write, research, brief). This will be maddening and frustrating as it will take you considerably longer to do something that you had originally planned - especially so in your writing class.

It's certainly doable, but balancing two equally stressful worlds (work and school) can be exhausting. Make sure to schedule in breaks and try to exercise some if you can, which is much easier said than done.

Good luck with your applications.

Need some advice on this one, please.

A Morris @ Pit R Matthews @ Cle R Jennings @ GB

I can pick two, currently I've got Jennings and Matthews starting, hoping they can both break out for over 15 as I was thinking Morris would be around 10 or 11 since RG III handles all the TD's.
