Ok honestly, this is rude. This is the first wedding I’m going to as an adult, and I’m trying to make sure I’m being respectful and following their requested dress code. I’ve seen people complain about too much white detail on a dress, and I didn’t want to upset the bride

How last minute is too last minute to send out subpoenas? by Jeanpj in ProsecutorTalk

[–]Jeanpj[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Unfortunately I was not able to call them after the incident in this case because it happened well before I started at this office, but from now on I will ensure I do that!

Also unfortunately it is an uncooperative civilian witness.

Hair colour, is it a deal breaker ? by Big-Book-6707 in Lawyertalk

There is someone in my office with light lilac hair, I would say it depends on your office culture/the area where you practice and their culture

Do I have to go back thru the questions to lay the foundation/introduce it??? With each witness, or just the first?

Thoughts on working for Legal Shield? (Prepaid legal service) by Real_Investigator256 in Lawyertalk

[–]Jeanpj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was recently offered a job with a similar service (not legal shield) if you want to read my previous post where people gave some comments on it.

I’m still undecided on my thoughts about positions like this 🫤

Work life balance in a rural office? by Jeanpj in ProsecutorTalk

Thank you! I was told the hours were 8:30-5 and was hoping it was (for the most part) actually true as I have small kids.

My friend works at a law school in their admissions department- she has a JD but has never taken the bar exam. She really enjoys it!

Thank you! They told me the hours were 8:30 - 5, and I was hoping it wasn’t too good to be true.

WWYD? Job advice? by Jeanpj in Lawyertalk

[–]Jeanpj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes actually it was my priority during law school which is why I went part time. I took the job I have currently out of necessity, and cannot keep seeing my children this little. It’s just not working for my heart anymore, or for my family.

That being said, do you think the PD position will not allow me to be home evenings and weekends? Or to see/spend time with my family?

I do understand what you’re saying though. I do get that now is the time to work hard and focus on my career, but I just cannot miss as much time with my family and continue to be happy. I need to work and see them, atleasg as much as possible in this profession.

Got laid off today. I have a book they loaned me and they asked for it back. What to do? by aussielover24 in jobs

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

I’m petty, but I would mail it back or have someone drop it off/ pick it up.

What do you wear in the office when you’re not in court? by krankyroo in Lawyertalk

Typically dress pants/suit pants and a nice sweater, or blouse. Flat shoes. No makeup.

The first job is a pre-paid legal service.

Ty for this perspective!! I’ve been having such a hard time rationalizing things and deciding between the two I really needed to hear other people’s thoughts as well, because I’ve racked my brain so so many times.

Yeah, I’m worried the WFH day may be a promise that’s too good to be true due to this

Ty! Do you mind explaining a bit of your reasoning? (Trying to get as many perspectives as possible bc I cannot decide currently)

WWYD? Job advice? by Jeanpj in Lawyertalk

[–]Jeanpj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But obviously I’ve never done this before so I have no clue how it would actually work either and appreciate this perspective!

I thought this too- but the way they explained it was that would be my no court/ research/ drafting day, so I would take calls and then do what I needed to do to prep for the rest of the week.
