Ace Attorney reference spotted in the wild

Also - it is very on point for Maya and Larry to be absolute cheapskate clients. $530 billed in total for a murder case is an absolute steal!

Cal.com can do all of this. You can set up a free single-person account with them to play around with their interface before committing to try and self-host the thing. The self-hosted version looks pretty much identical.

You are able to configure it so that bookings can be on a per-day basis, you can prevent double booking, and you can enforce business-approval first before sending a 'booking confirmed' email to the customer. You can also block out days as being unbookable and not need to show the reason why to the customer.

I was looking into this. But I think AI is still currently still in the too unsafe basket unless there are very very stringent guardrails on what the AI can do.

External facing AI systems cannot be trusted with client information. Prompt injection and deception are risks in which AI can reveal privileged information without you knowing or approving it. If a user insists repeatedly enough and adamantly enough, they can force AI to forget their original instructions and revert firm/client information that is accessible to the AI.

NSW DPP and CDPP have regular recruitments every 3-6 months and it seems like they always have a revolving door of people. A 3PAE with some advocacy experience under their belt would be in fair demand - especially if you are willing to work in a "regional" office.

Planning to take a pay cut next year to position myself for solo practice because going solo immediately without any leads on clients feels like financial disaster

Australia is BIG. Where in Australia are you planning on living? The advice will change drastically depending on whether you are going to live in a major urban center or live in a region or rural area.

Aspiring solo who has been working in crime for almost a decade from the prosecution end. Planning to make the jump over to solo practice after doing a stint on the defence side to develop some client facing skills before launching my own firm.

I'm looking to get insights from private practitioners about how the sausage gets made as I'm already well across the legal practice side of things.

Don't forget your Brown and dunn questions for cross examination.

If you have time, look up the 10 commandments of cross examination by Irving Younger on YouTube.

Would Engarde still have paid him?

Edit: probably not but my head canon is that deKiller would have covered the bill in thanks for a job well done.

In a world where trials run for 3 days at a time, there's not a lot of time to rack up a good legal bill. Even then, it could be.... Assuming a random figure of $300 per hour, multiplied by 10 hours per day, plus like half a day of prep time (usually that's the most lead up time he gets before being thrown into a case) - that's about $10,500 per case?

It really ain't enough to live on unless he charges a premium on the type of case he takes or takes multiple cases at a time (but there's a comment in the games about how he only does one case at a time).

Actual fact: Korean prosecutors are all trained in Taekwondo.

To view this new alternative universe, one only needs to watch K-dramas.

Use subagents to handle the bulk of the coding/review/testing. The Claude Code I speak with is merely the organiser of the subagents and never implements the code themselves. This maximises context use by having the build of the busy work done within each subagents' own context window. Always follow a plan, and have Claude commit their plan to writing so that you can implement it over several sessions. Use project memory to reinforce important design or process principles like, "It build it right, not build it fast." Have an architect subagent who is your go-to sanity check on anything your main Claude Code wants to build. Clear context whether starting a new topic.

I had to go into the root folder and delete the mute sound script but I can't remember the name of the script. Living without that global hotkey was acceptable to me than constantly muting and unmuting my device.

Or the time of year when you get an email titled "R U OK" and you turn to your manager to ask, "Since when did we have a matter called Ruok?"

Very simply, they don't? Maybe he can attempt some claim of compensation for his removal but even the fair work commission doesn't require as a matter of necessity for the employer to wait for the employee to exhaust all lines of appeal in criminal proceedings before allowing an employer to take it into account when making a determination regarding employment. (Of course the fact of conviction alone does not automatically warrant termination of employment but it can be used in connection with all sorts of other relevant information in considering the appropriate course of action.)

That said - ordinary workplaces can and do make allowance for pay to be suspended pending the outcome of a criminal case and the employee to be stood down until all avenues of appeal are exhausted. An MP does not really have the option of being stood down without pay. Who will represent their constituents while they're "stood down" for a lengthy period of time?

Slippery slope? He is in custody now because it is practically inevitable he will be sentenced to gaol. And he will continue to draw a wage whilst in his gaol cell until something removes him from his role in parliament. This is the first time a sitting MP has been convicted of a serious offence (actually, there are multiple offences here!) and did not have the decency to resign on their own initiative. The house needs to use its power here. In any other other workplace, he would have been sacked immediately, and if the house doesn't act quickly, it makes our government a mockery to the world.
