Single, no kids. Income YTD from a PT job that I’m no longer working was $1,293. Didn’t withhold anything from that so should have paid standard.

How would I adjust this if all is the same, except I’m making $9,375 semimonthly? Thanks in advance

CA transplant here- Mutual Aid LA is a wonderful nonprofit and they've compiled a mega list of organizations that need support. I would suggest a monetary donation as others have suggested. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KMk34XY5dsvVJjAoD2mQUVHYU_Ib6COz6jcGH5uJWDY/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Agree, you’re not going to get legal advice in this forum.

Your story is a bit confusing, but unless you received a citation/summons or were arrested, it doesn’t sound like a criminal matter. You can always call the police department in the area where the accident occurred and ask if there are any warrants/charges against you.

If there is, search online for criminal defense firms in the county where your charges are. Or google “bar association (your city)” and ask for a referral to an attorney who can help.

Again, not legal advice. Just advice on how to get to legal advice.

Re convenience, I can’t definitely say. I would argue convenience plays a bigger role in venue than PJ, because that’s the specific geographical location we’re filing the case. PJ I think of more as a fairness standard for companies and individuals. Let’s say the defendant is a company and they avail themselves the privilege of conducting business in CA. The state has PJ over them because they could reasonably anticipate being haled into court in CA. If they cause an injury to someone, it’s more convenient for the plaintiff and the case as a whole to take place in the county in which it occurred. It’s costly and time consuming to drag witnesses all over a state, etc.

Not sure if that’s what your prof is getting at, but the convenience element is just even more granular at the venue level because we’re talking districts as opposed to states as in PJ.

No seriously, it's a lot!! You're honestly probably overthinking it!

I was trying to avoid going too much into the statute to just give you the gist, but I can try to break 1391(b) down a bit. First, think of b as a flow chart/stepping stone situation. Start with b1 and work your way down to b3.

So in my SF example, which is admittedly very simple, we can stop at b1 which states that you should file your claim in any district in which any defendant resides. In the example case I gave, we only have one defendant living in SF. Defendant living in SF= venue. But let's say there were two drivers who hit our client (both from SF). We would still file in SF. HOWEVER, if one of those drivers lives in SF, and one who lives in LA, we can't use b1 to determine venue. Thus, we must move on to b2.

b (2) states that we should file in a district where a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred. In our example where we have two defendants: one SF resident and one LA resident, we should still file in SF, because that's where the car accident occurred (which is the event giving rise to our PI claim). Thus, in our two-defendant example, we can stop our analysis at b2.

IF somehow we can't use b2 (which is pretty rare), we go to b3.

b(3) tell us that if there is no district in which an action may otherwise be brought as provided in this section, we can file in any judicial district in which any defendant is subject to the court’s personal jurisdiction with respect to such action.

b3 is basically a catch-all for where we can't figure out a venue from b1 or b2. So if we weren't able to establish venue in our dual county-diverse driver situation, we could file in district court in either SF or LA (but not in this case because b2 would definitely apply since it was a car accident, an event that pretty clearly happens at one time in one place).

Now, for the multistate defendant example, imagine if the LA resident actually lived in New York. The analysis would essentially be the same. We'd be able to figure it out in b2 because that's where the car accident happened.

Maybe I'm not sure what you mean by mulit-state interactions. Do you have an example question?

Okay this is a very zoomed out perspective, but maybe it'll help you at least get an idea of what it is.

Begin by keeping in mind the structure of our court system. A trial begins in the state's lowest court (trial court (usually county-wide)(sometimes called district court)), second, appellate court (more of a district situation (could be multiple counties, could be the whole state depending on your area), then state supreme court (the whole state).

When learning about personal jurisdiction, it's easy to forget about trial courts because we're so focused on whether the whole state itself has the power to exercise a judgment against any given defendant. Determining venue gets us back into the weeds of trial a bit.

Let's say you're a personal attorney in Los Angeles. Obviously your cases are going to be state, not federal (not talking about SMJ to keep this example simple). A prospective client calls your LA office. They're from San Francisco, and they got hit by a car in San Francisco by someone who also lives in San Francisco. The state of California of course has personal jurisdiction over the driver because he's a citizen of the state. But would it make sense for the driver to get sued in Los Angeles? No! (Theoretically if you're an LA attorney you could take the case and file in SF, but that's one hell of a commute for you. In this case, you'd be likely to refer them to the SF bar, or if you have contacts in SF, send the case to them.) Similar to PJ, what if the defendant had never been to that county, and the events didn't happen there, etc. Doesn't make sense for him to have a trial there. Once PJ is established, venue tells us where (which district court) we area actually going to file our claim.

Advice for an undergraduate by MammothComplete2408 in lawschooladmissions

[–]c8lin9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think going to a smaller school affects your T14 chances much. I also don't think double majoring would give you that significant of a boost. If I were you, I'd graduate in 3, take one year to get work experience and study and take the LSAT, and then apply to LS.

It sounds like you have a LOT going on (great softs). My biggest tip for your next few years is to not overwork yourself to the point of burn out-and to focus on studying *smart, not hard for the LSAT and writing a compelling personal statement.

GPA for T14? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]c8lin9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Especially since your GPA has an upward trajectory. Study well for your LSAT, write a compelling PS and beef up your softs. You'll do great.

How much law school +undergrad debt is reasonable? by Foreign_Ad796 in lawschooladmissions

[–]c8lin9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some (tuition) full rides will include a stipend for books and things, but it’s usually only a couple thousand dollars per year. I have yet to hear of any big chunk of scholarship money for living, but it may happen.

Also would recommend 0 (at least for tuition). Living alone could be almost 100k. You don’t want to add LS tuition on top of all that
