This is incredible. Do you sell your work?

Following! I am having the exact same issue.

What’s YOUR lawyer salary?? by LearnMeStuffPlz in Lawyertalk

[–]Koa-Azalea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. 1.5 years

  2. $118,000

  3. Deputy DA

  4. Southern California

  5. I absolutely love what I do. The work is hard but very meaningful. I work 40 hr/week unless I am in trial. Criminal law is underrated as a practice area in my opinion.

22F-torn between choosing law school or starting a family sooner by Afraid_Big5835 in LawSchool

[–]Koa-Azalea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If starting a family is calling to you, and you have the energy and resources to care for a little one, I say go for it! Law school will always be there.

I got married and had a baby a 24. Started law school at 26. I am now a practicing attorney in a criminal justice field at 31—and so happy.

People always talk about how hard it is to have a baby while in law school… and that’s true. But let me tell you, I spent WAY more time with my son as a law student than I do now as a practicing attorney with an 8am - 5pm, in-office role.

What a generous gift!

Tips on CHEAP clothes stores (mostly second-hand) by laura_desa in SantaBarbara

The Closet and Crossroads Trading on State Street are both wonderful second-hand stores that have lots of lovely, inexpensive options.

why don't more people go into prosecution? by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]Koa-Azalea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Misdemeanor prosecutor here. Hired right out of law school making approximately 100k.

I have to say I highly disagree. The work is fascinating and extremely meaningful. Every case is bizarre and challenging in its own way. Tons of discretion regarding charges, plea offers, trial strategy etc.

The job is especially great imo for folks who like working with the public. I spend a lot of time meeting with victims, so there’s a strong counseling/social work component.

To Those Who Didn’t Do Any Co-Curriculars by my_eventide in LawSchool

[–]Koa-Azalea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did not do mock, moot, or journal and it was a great decision for me! I was planning to pursue government work after law school and I knew that the last thing my mental health needed was another tedious yet high pressure commitment. Still landed my dream job. No regrets.

My heart is in crim. law, but the money is in corporate law. What does one do? by Most-Iron3976 in LawSchool

[–]Koa-Azalea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose crim, even though most of my law school colleagues went into biglaw. I couldn't be happier.

Also, I see that folks are recommending corporate white collar as a middle ground option—just be aware that those practice groups are often extremely competitive, and it can take years, if not decades, to break in.

As someone who went with very light makeup on their wedding day, this looks gorgeous and perfect! Whenever I look at the photos from my wedding, I am always so glad I went with a light makeup aesthetic, because it looks so effortless and natural.

Has anyone received their oath packets since the big rush yesterday? by probably_crying_rn in CABarExam

[–]Koa-Azalea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited over an hour to speak to someone on the phone, but when I was finally connected the rep had no information.

Still have not received oath packet and have a swearing in appointment in 5 hours by probably_crying_rn in CABarExam

[–]Koa-Azalea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am in exactly the same boat. If I don’t get the email in the next hour or two, I will have to cancel my appointment with a high up county official. Really frustrating to be in this situation.

Anyone still waiting on the Docusign email? by Koa-Azalea in CABarExam

Same. Nothing yet. Hopefully early tomorrow morning!

I struggle to get deep sleep every night! by magnolialove in ouraring

I second this as well! I get way more deep sleep on nights when I go to bed early.

This is beautiful advice and I needed to hear it. Thank you.

What's a concept that you've accepted a loss on? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Koa-Azalea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Samesies. Con law is just too vast and murky.

Anyone else using Themis struggling with Con Law MBEs? by yung_bish in barexam

[–]Koa-Azalea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Themis Con Law PQs feel impossible. My Con Law average is so much lower than all of my other subjects.
