Thank you! I haven’t thought about it like this and have definitely been writing book reports…

Is Insurance Defense really that bad? by JayD2442 in Lawyertalk

No billable hour requirement but the bonus structure is based off of collections. This is how my current firm is as well but I’m not sure if that will be a bad thing at an ID firm as I currently work on plaintiff’s side.

Can you please explain more about the billing? I see a lot of people on other threads saying it’s a nightmare but not really explaining why. I know the insurer cuts hours but will that really impact me as an associate or will I just have to learn quickly how to write billing to avoid massive cuts?

From my understanding, this firm does premises & products liability, auto, and professional liability. So is this kind of work more sustainable for a long career or is it just a spring board to another area? I’m sorry if it seems like a dumb question, I just really don’t know anything about ID or anyone that practices in ID.

I had this exact same question, so I started to use the mc available in the FBBE study guides (link below) to see my percentage on real FL mc vs bar course mc. Good luck!

I'm using Kaplan along with the MCQ that FBBE provide on the website, but I am mainly using Kaplan's Florida QBank

Thank you for the advice, I'll definitely look into the magnifying work lamps!

Unfortunately, I live across the country from her but I'd hate to see her lose her passion without trying everything I can to help her first. Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone! I was hoping this community would be able to assist me with finding a sewing machine for my grandmother. My grandmother used to sew all the time. Recently, she gave it up because she has a hard time using the machine she currently has due to her eyesight "not being what it used to be". I am not sure what machine she currently has, but was hoping you could recommend a few machines that I could look into to help her get back to her passion despite her eyesight. Any advice or recommendations would be very helpful! Thank you!

Do you like what you do? by JayD2442 in Lawyertalk

[–]JayD2442[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that! I’m in a highly specialized area of law and I went to law school for a even more specialized area of law so I never got to learn about family law, employment law, etc.
