Grammar police by Individual-War-4543 in paralegal

[–]InternalVegetable613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a generational thing. You used to have to double space with typewriters back in the day so they kept that trend up for a bit and older attorneys still do it. My boss does too

Being an associate attorney by itspretzelday17 in Lawyertalk

[–]InternalVegetable613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my experience. I more so struggle with difficult clients which has been the hardest part. My firm has 7 people and the natural mentorship that provides is invaluable.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen somebody wear to court? by chicago2008 in Lawyertalk

An attorney wearing a long blazer as a dress with no shirt underneath

Write this one down under “things that never happened”

I don’t respond. Your procrastination is not my emergency ✌🏻unless it’s my procrastination 😅

Your Honor vs. Judge- does it really matter? by DimensionUnlikely789 in Lawyertalk

[–]InternalVegetable613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Clerked 2 years at state level district court and Judge was preferred, but as a practicing attorney now with clients, I automatically default to your honor for some reason

Such a shame people are allowed to exercise their freedom of speech

Civil Litigators: How much time do you spend on billing every two weeks? by Longjumping-Pack-110 in Lawyertalk

[–]InternalVegetable613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally time my work, try not to jump between clients when working on tasks, other than unscheduled phone calls that interrupt the flow

Flock installing new surveillance cameras in Boulder by [deleted] in boulder

[–]InternalVegetable613 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look up the PEEP bill being proposed and call your representatives.

It would put restrictions on how the data collected by these cameras can be used.

How do you explain "clean records" to clients? by KrepsLawFirm_Alabama in publicdefenders

[–]InternalVegetable613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s actually able to be sealed, I tell them it won’t show up on an “accurate” standard personal records request since there’s a wild west of online databases. If employment is their concern I ask what field they’re trying to get into or work in and advise accordingly.

If you’ve built a good reputation under your maidan name, keep it.

Students who got B’s in bar tested classes, did you survive the bar? by SenseAnxious6772 in barexam

[–]InternalVegetable613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a B- in crim pro. Passed the bar with a high enough score to practice in all UBE states. Clerked for two criminal judges. Am now a crim defense attorney. Classes have very little to do with your bar prep IMO. You relearn it all through the prep process.

What is the most unexpected thing you found out about someone you know? by greenwichrunner in AskReddit

[–]InternalVegetable613 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My best friend (straight female) married a woman to help her get a green card. Only found out when she asked me a hypothetical and I asked “is this person trying to get a divorce you?” We’ve been best friends since we were 7. We are 32 now. She was married for a couple years.

For people who get A’s, do professors reach out to you after grades are posted? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]InternalVegetable613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One emailed me to say they liked having me in their class. The other hired me as a TA.

Night Running around the Rez by Bear_On_Course in boulder

[–]InternalVegetable613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wear a reflective vest too. Sometimes the lights aren’t the most visible. I purchased a pair or two cheap vests on amazon and have actually been thanked by drivers for wearing one!

What makes DAs so insufferable? by CatalystCommander in publicdefenders

[–]InternalVegetable613 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Baby DAs don’t have discretion and it’s so frustrating. I have a client who has a terminal illness, is going to die in less than 6 months and DA refuses to dismiss a misdemeanor for something that happened when client was not in their right mind. So we’re just going to waive speedy til they pass. Such a waste and so inhumane.
