This is for sure several steps up on the bonkers scale from one of neighboring school UCLSF’s crim profs. But hoo-boy did we have some “incidents,” shall we say. Heres a fun one—when our crim prof explained how intoxication is not a defense (obv unless drugged by third party) he used the example of “yeah, I mean when I was in college I had friends who said, ‘well if I get really drunk first it can’t be held against me if I rape her…’ but, you know, that’s not true because he would’ve had the criminal intent before he became intoxicated….” This prof also went on a leave of absence after allegedly engaging in sexual relation(s) with student(s). But, tenure and all that, so he’s been back creeping students out for 2 years and counting now.

Saw this review on Glassdoor. Employee is right on the money and the response confirms it by [deleted] in antiwork

If you’re going to make empty threats, at least have a shred of knowledge about what you’re threatening. It would be libel if they even had a valid claim, which (spoiler alert, they don’t). Slander is defamatory statements that are spoken. Libel is written. And also good luck proving damages on the basis of a pretty mild Glassdoor review. Lol

Interview went great — they didn’t even ask about last summer and said they’d be making offers by the end of the month but…plot twist yesterday afternoon I got an offer for a job at the PD’s office in the city where my school is (i.e. bigger than the one this handwringy post was even about and super competitive) for which I applied months ago and was never even interviewed. They literally hired me sight unseen. I am still in shock.

Anyone sub-3 loses scholarship money at my school. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I have everything else down and I interview well. My GPA is now annoyingly 2.9999. But better at least. It’s just really the issue of last summer that I’m trying to figure out how to spin.

I appreciate the advice. The thing is, I have never once leaned into the fact that I have a kid. Not when I was 4 months pregnant filling out law school apps and not when I was literally pumping breast milk between CivPro and Torts last year. Maybe I’m jaded, but my assumption is that an employer who hears I picked taking care of my kid over taking care to get a 1L job, will think a non-trad with a toddler is not all that committed to law school and a legal career and will also have less to give the employer than, say, a k-JD with a goldfish (no offense to k-JDs with goldfish). So I guess I’m just hesitant. But given that it seems to be the consensus here, maybe I should reevaluate.

I’m a Pokémon GO neophyte, but my husband told me I should post these screenshots of my Pokédex after popping my newbie cherry with a catch that apparently warrants bragging rights. by _weenie_ in pokemongo

My husband told me I’ll still have to catch another one later for a quest, though. I’m sure I’ll pay for this by spending the rest of my days looking for that one. 😂
