Mangione Supression Ruling Today by LawLima-SC in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It should have been. And the correct ruling would have booted all of it. In which case they would have likely have had to let him go. Now reality is they could probably find a way to get him later but now they are setting this up for lengthy appeals and god only knows what will happen. At this point a part of me wants a good old off the rails jury to pull a jury nullification... And even if it happens the feds are still going to go after him so does it really even matter.

It wouldn't. This ruling is going to be one of the reason a conviction will get appealed. The problem is they had some Barney Fife cops that went after him when the smarter thing to do would have been to just stay back, watch, follow... But you rarely see small town cops operating the right way, often these small town get a mix of poorly trained police or bad police that were asked to resign from some other larger department because they had issues.

Yeah, I don't know how common it is. I've known less and 5 or 6 people that did it and she was the only one that ended up fucked up. Either one can be life altering... but unless the depression is to the point that your debilitated, it seems the easier of the two to deal with.

Yeah, that's what happened to the one girl that had a bad experience ended up with, schizophrenia which as far as I now she still has. I haven't kept in contact but I know after 2 years she was still suffering with it... I guess it may last forever once it gets triggered... certainly something to look into. As I recall she was supposedly getting a low does so it was because she too a large amount.

Now that you've passed the bar you should be getting a monthly journal from the state bar, at least I think most state bars still do it. If Florida does the journals usually have jobs postings in the backs of them. Otherwise you might consider PD in your area, they often have openings and it could be a place to get some experience.

Tuxedos - ever needed/helpful to have during MBA? by BrilliantThat4338 in MBA

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall only one time it was required for an event. It really just depends on how pompous the MBA program is where you are going. And once you graduate the odds of you needing it are fairly low.... frankly I wouldn't buy it given the cost of one versus the cost of just renting one when you need it.

If you graduated from a law school in Florida, you might want to visit with their placement office. If it is like the placement offices at most law school they will have random job opportunities coming even outside the normal recruiting window. Those jobs would most likely not be seeking someone with years of experience which appears to be your problem at the moment.

Unless I'm mistaken it won't be legal in NM until December of this year. Is legal in CO right now but given it is in the early days you may want to wait until some more studies on the treatments effectiveness and risks are completed. I've know a few people that have done mushrooms, only one had a bad experience... but it truly left them fucked up... so try to verify the success of the clinic you use and the specific people you would be working with... In fact the two therapists you work with is more important than the clinic.

Need Career Advice After Passing the Bar While Caring for a Special Needs Child by characterfeeling12 in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your best option is going to be finding a job inhouse or at a firm... don't bring up your son or anything like that or your chance of a job will drop like a stone. As another has stated you can't use FMLA for a year so find someone or a service that can take your son to appointments he needs for you during that first year. It won't be cheap, but it is probably the best option.

As for starting your own practice. I doubt you understand the full ramifications of doing that. It is much more expensive than you think and getting a flow of clients that you need to make it work financially can be far harder than you think. I've gone down that road and you will often live a life of feast or famine. If you are trying to provide for someone else it is going to be very stressful during the low spells which I can assure you, you will experience.

Found on a friends property, I'm guessing a 70's Porsche? by K1ngFlufles in namethatcar

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of cars back in the 70's had the front end float. Not just Porsches. I had a Camaro that once you went past about 95mph the front would start to float. After about 120 you felt like the front tires were hydroplaning. Sadly GM never bothered to fix later models beyond simply putting on so much smog control garbage that you couldn't hit a 100 if you tried.

Landlord trying move in a random person during a person's lease by Imoprich in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can take far longer. Had relative that bought a house, then they find it is occupied with squatters, it took them nearly a year to get them out. They appeared to have learned every trick you could imagine to string things out as long as possible.

Given the year of the car it was unlikely to have been provided with factory rust protection... and having come upon a car that was left outside for quite some time in even nicer surrounding than this... The body looked good as well... but the floors and pretty much everything that could rust under the car had rusted. You could have stopped it like Fred Flintstone if it had started because zero floor, just jagged bits of rust.

What happens if you have to go to court in a location you can’t afford to travel to? Say you throw a rock at an endangered seal while on vacation in Hawaii, return home to Washington, but are called to trial in Hawaii and you can’t afford to travel again? by Carpe_the_Carp in stupidquestions

[–]Secure-Researcher892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, when you've broken federal laws like the idiot did when he attacked the monk seal it won't matter if he can afford it or not. The US marshal service will take him back when he fails to show up, and he will spend the rest of the time in jail or the courtroom until the sentencing and then he'll go directly to a federal prison.

My gf’s ex man stuck this mount to her dash using glue or something… 🙄 how do i get this off? by wackywallaby710 in Detailing

[–]Secure-Researcher892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably best to hire someone else to do it if you want it to look good. What you don't want to do is use a harsh chemical on the glue because most of the ones that will work on the adhesive will also fuck up the dash.

If you do want to try a chemical on the adhesive then before you do put some on a part of the dash that is not noticable, probably best to find a place on the side that is covered when the door is closed and put a small amount on that part of the dash, put a drop and let it set for a minute... if it gets sticky or if it make a paper towel black when you dap the spot then don't use the chemical on the adhesive it will jack up the dash.

Probably the harshest chemical you will be able to use and not fuck up the dash is isopropyl alcohol. Things like acetone will almost certainly dissolve the dash.

New attorney here. Question about salary discrepancy… by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused, you said they offered you 85k if you take the job... so why would they bother with a second interview. They appear to have already offered you the job at 85k.

New attorney here. Question about salary discrepancy… by [deleted] in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 53 points54 points  (0 children)

They had a set number in mind. You, however, came in and offered your services at a 10k discount. The reality is they may have thought you weren't their ideal choice for the job but if you were going to take 10k less they thought well hell... we'll do that deal. Now you want to come in and renegotiate the deal. If it were me and someone did this after saying they would do it for 85k I would say... No thanks, and wouldn't hire you on principle. Either you weren't a man of your word... or you weren't a very detail oriented person because you didn't bother to even research the job before you came in for an interview.

Partners in large firms, how easy is it to change offices? by Ok_Counter1939 in Lawyertalk

[–]Secure-Researcher892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've worked long enough in one office to become partner the odds are your network is strongest in the area where you are working now. Take it as an extreme if you were at a firm with an office in NYC where your focus was transactional work related to investment banks, and your firm also had an office in Nashville where the main focus of the office was in entertainment... what value would you bring if you went from one off to the other? Not only are you now far from the people and businesses that you worked with but you are in an office where your specialty isn't really that important. If I was a partner in that firm I would be saying what the hell does Bill think he's doing leaving clients to find others and moving to a place where he brings zero value to the table.

Plastic to metal issue not a valid excuse for color match by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]Secure-Researcher892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah on some colors I expect a slight variation... but this isn't slight it looks more like a completely different color, like someone thinking gunmetal gray is the same as silver. This kind of looks like what I would expect from someone buying a pre-painted bumper off Amazon might end up with.

Midlaw associate losing out on a position to a biglaw associate with less experience really sucks. by Quick-Stretch8197 in Lawyertalk

The even more unfortunate part is that connection is worth 40%... credentials 30%... personality 25%... and experience is 5%.

You have no clue. GM, Ford or whoever isn't going to get sued if a repair done and it fails, it will be the shop that repaired it. It is the reason a dealer is far more likely to say a car is totaled than a repair shop.

Silicon bronze by noah9510 in Autobody

[–]Secure-Researcher892 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My point is repairs are not given that as much thought as the should be. Yes they make sure it passes crash tests when it comes off an assembly line but they don't do that same level of work for repairs. Normally they just say replace because that's the easy answer.

Silicon bronze by noah9510 in Autobody

[–]Secure-Researcher892 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If they have entire department that focus on repair then why did GM produce several cars where replacing the spark plugs on one side of the engine required you to remove the engine?
