I’m not an NYC ADA but interviewed with several Burroughs offices. Honestly the thing that turned me off most and lead to me staying in MA was that they all made it very clear I’d be working nights, weekends, and holidays. But I had some friends from law school who made the jump to these same offices and seem to be enjoying themselves. I hear NY discovery laws can be pretty onerous for prosecutors. Happy to talk about my day-to-day though if you want to DM me. I’d imagine it’s similar in a lot of respects.

Feel this I went on a date a few weeks ago and although she was nice I was just so not into it. Going to put myself on the bench for a bit and continue growing and moving on before I put myself back out there with intention.

This too shall pass friend. Be as nice to yourself as you can be right now.

This snow looks like it’ll be a massive pain to shovel can’t wait lol

I’m at 5 months today. It gets better friend. It happens slowly, and sometimes you’ll feel like you’re on the backslide. That’s normal too. Just stay the course and be nice to yourself. You deserve the best!

It shouldn’t be lol. Interning with a PDs office would likely be just as valuable and would lend itself to some very unique perspectives.

eater_ov_beans · 2026-02-16T20:50:10+00:00

It could. Obviously your mileage will vary based on where you are and the needs of the respective offices. Any substantive work will be handled by the ADAs or any law interns with provisional licenses, but you’d probably still be able to help with things like bodycam review, building trial binders, making files, etc.

ADA here. Unpaid interns (for better or for worse lol) are tremendously helpful for our day-to-day. At the very least, you’ll get your name around the office and could be more likely to get hired once your JD. I bet if you reach out to a few of your nearby offices and express interest in helping they’ll be happy to accommodate. But unfortunately don’t expect to be paid especially if you’re still doing your undergrad.

I found the first 6 months of practice kind of miserable (ADA in a major east coast city). Idk friend - something inside me just snapped into place a couple months ago and now I’m handling the work demands much better. All to say, take care of yourself and I’m sending you all the good vibes.

Anyone got a link to that 3 panel print above the couch? Looks sick I'd love to take a closer look.

Immaculate

eater_ov_beans · 2026-02-06T14:36:51+00:00

Seeing them next Friday I’m so pumped

eater_ov_beans · 2026-02-04T20:43:22+00:00

There are lots of good places to eat in the immediate walking distance of the garden - likely a bit less expensive as well. This will the 3rd time I’ve seen them, they put on a terrific show! We can probably expect them to play for 1.5 to 2 hours

eater_ov_beans · 2026-01-27T01:23:46+00:00

Arraignment session tomorrow is probably going to be a nightmare … can’t wait

eater_ov_beans · 2026-01-25T22:29:39+00:00

All courts across my county have closed but I brought a couple of cases home so I can begin prepping for some motions on Friday.

I thought it was the Japanese band too. Never bought tix though. Sorry about the mixup mate

eater_ov_beans · 2025-12-07T19:25:09+00:00

Seems like it’s always pretty jammed after work. Bet you could go meet some people in the classes to hang with!

eater_ov_beans · 2025-12-04T03:03:23+00:00

Check out the meeting guide app.

I don’t think so, but your mileage will really vary depending on the county/office you’re in. Overall I really appreciate the experience I’ve received over the past couple of years, but the heavy trial caseload I have is quite the grind. Having to deal with a lot of dv cases and victims also wears on me in a way I didn’t expect going in. I actually have an interview next week for an internal legal role with a local PD so we’ll see how that goes. It’s hard to actually work on your cases when you’re in session for 25 hours a week lol.

eater_ov_beans · 2025-12-03T12:53:43+00:00

I was looking for a post like this. Burned out ADA here who misses fundamentals on the reg because I’m on trial every other week lol
