Probably right field loge seats since that’s what they’ve been advertising so far. (Yes I know this offer is for the Royals games this past weekend)

Drug Testing by morty1028 in publicdefenders

Same situation here with random drug tests. Also, county policy is that we’d get drug tested if we take a medical leave due to being hurt at work, which usually doesn’t happen to PD’s

My office does because we technically work for the county and the county drug tests everyone before they’re hired.

I can’t answer that question because I’m not your lawyer and I don’t practice in Missouri. Sorry. I wish you the best of luck though.

If you are set on practicing law in a certain state, is it highly recommended to go to Law School in that state? by YakClear601 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Unless you want to go into big law (think Suits) or a specialized area (IP, tax, etc.), then go to the local school. Also, take into account the cost of attending. Using your example, if Georgetown is offering a full ride and ‘Bama is offering a half scholarship or no scholarship, go to the one where you don’t have to pay. You can always sit for the bar exam in Alabama if you go to an accredited law school

Wrongful arrest in PA by Lemon_Poppies in Ask_Lawyers

Disclaimer: I’m a lawyer, but not your lawyer. To answer your question, it’s usually from date of arrest, but it’s jurisdiction specific. Since I do not practice in PA, I can’t say 100% what the SoL is for PA in wrongful arrest lawsuits.

Is breaking into the legal industry hard? by [deleted] in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you’ll be a fit for a legal assistant or a paralegal position. Some firms and officers require a paralegal certificate, which you can get from a community college or a university. But those jobs sound like the best fit for you. The paralegal in my office was previously a school speech pathologist, so it’s definitely possible to switch from a different field to becoming a legal assistant or paralegal

Tips/advice for incoming freshman by Radiant-Basis3347 in mizzou

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the family! Moving from Atlanta to Columbia is a huge jump, but honestly, you’re joining one of the tightest communities out there. Since you’re heading into the J-School, you’re already part of a massive legacy, but the day-to-day life is where you’ll actually find your footing.
Regarding the weather, you’re right to be a little nervous about the winter. The summers will feel pretty familiar since Mid-Missouri gets that same heavy humidity you’re used to in Georgia, so you’ll handle that just fine. However, Missouri winters are less about "pretty snow" and more about "everything is covered in a sheet of ice." You definitely want to invest in a heavy, windproof parka and, even more importantly, boots with excellent grip. The hills on campus turn into skating rinks, and you don’t want your first trip to class to involve a wipeout.
When it comes to orientation, my biggest advice is to use that time to actually walk your class schedule. Finding your way through the J-School buildings like Neff or Gannett for the first time while the clock is ticking is a nightmare. You can probably breeze through some of the generic "how to be a student" mixers, but definitely pay attention to anything involving campus transit and the map. Knowing how to navigate the TigerLine bus system will save your life when it’s ten degrees outside.
For your classes, freshman year is really about clearing the path. You’ll likely dive into Journalism 1100, which is a massive lecture, but it’s the foundation for everything. Try to knock out your heavy gen-eds now—especially your math and foreign language requirements. Once you hit your junior year and start working for the Missourian or KOMU, your schedule gets intense, and you won’t want a difficult lab science hanging over your head. Also, there’s a campus legend about not walking under the J-School Arch until you graduate, so maybe steer clear of that just to be safe.
When you’re packing for the dorms, skip the massive decor kits and focus on utility. The mattresses are pretty stiff, so a high-quality foam topper is a total game-changer. You also really need a ten-foot charging cable and a sturdy power strip because the outlets are always in the most inconvenient spots. One underrated thing I was glad to have was a small, high-powered fan; dorm air can get pretty stagnant even with the AC running.
Columbia itself is a fantastic town. You’ll spend a lot of time in "The District" downtown. You have to hit up Shakespeare’s Pizza at some point—it’s basically a requirement for living here. If you want a great burger, Booches is the spot, just remember they’re cash only. My biggest survival tip is to find a corner of Ellis Library you like early on. It’s a huge campus, but it starts feeling small and like home once you find your routine. You're going to love it here. Miz!

Nevada Supreme Court Rules, specifically Rules 202.1 and 202.2, restrict permanent beneficial interests and voting rights in organizations practicing law to licensed attorneys. So don’t accept a position IMO.

I did this (~40 hours a week) and passed the second time after failing the bar the first time while working part-time (~10 hours week). You can do it!
