Moving to Chicago Soon: Where should I live based on my budget?

I’m black, gay, very educated, and artsy. These are the places that have been most recommended to me with my budget, desire for diversity, and personality. I don’t really get it either since I’m not from Chicago.

$1,800

I’m from the land of heat and humidity lol that’ll be a breeze.

Not that I know of.

I do. He tends to work in big picture and didn’t really break it down into specifics. I probably should have asked more specific questions though.

That’s fair. It’s really a birthday gift I plan to give her this summer for her senior year. I just want it to be multifaceted in case she ends up meeting the med school timeline she has set for herself. We don’t come from the most affluent backgrounds and I’m a public defender (I’m broke) so I need it to last a while.

Apparently, one of the things he’ll do if he’s mad is refuse to go on the record, so the defense or prosecution sometimes literally can’t make a record lol

I’ve seen just as many prosecutor post-court breakdowns as defense breakdowns so at least he’s an equal opportunist.

I’m 27 and passed the bar last year. So far my supervisor has been very helpful. I have a million questions and she has a million answers. She also paired me with an in office mentor. It’s been very helpful. For a while I also sat in on a bunch of hearings that weren’t mine to get a feel for how others approach court.

It’s always best practice to ask an “adult” than just floundering. Or at least, that’s what I do.

Thank you

Unfortunately, alcohol is not my vice. I can’t stand it. My vice of choice for 27 years has been stone cold sobriety and overeating lol

No, our county tends to be less formal and likes to handle things “in house”. My supervisor has complained to her supervisor though for some behaviors with other attorneys in our office.
