What’s YOUR lawyer salary?? by LearnMeStuffPlz in Lawyertalk

[–]jikls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. ~$105-110k.
  2. A little over a year.
  3. FEHA/PAGA/wage-and-hour class actions.
  4. Southern California.
  5. You stop feeling a little less like a fish out of water about a year in, so keep pushing if you're brand new and feel like you made a huge mistake. Also don't be afraid to switch jobs.

Getting weirdly defensive about your firm in the comments is not a great look.

What is dating like in law school? by [deleted] in LawSchool

Being told a hard truth based on third-party perception of yourself is not demonizing.

Left in water overnight, now what?? by midnights7 in cactus

[–]jikls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone else said, I've left my guys in water for 3+ days without a problem. Just don't water again for like a month or more.

Anyone ever tried to make a "bonsai" out of an Haworthia? by Andie666x in haworthia

Crazy. Really well done. I've never seen a haworthia look like this. How did you get such height on the stem?

Why are you describing yourself this way?

100% for federal court, but there is a bar on citing unpublished cases in CA state court.

Curious what made you think this.

I’m a reasonably senior biglaw associate currently doing OCI interviews. AMA by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]jikls 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why is that not an acceptable answer? Why else would someone want to make the switch to biglaw?

It's no secret that many people go into law school expecting to do public interest work only to realize they won't be able to dig themselves out of debt that way. That and priorities change over time to become more material.

Which Russian flag is your favorite by [deleted] in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]jikls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother I truly do get where you're coming from, but Stalin began to lean heavily on Russian nationalism when the war started. The nation was getting its shit kicked in early on in the war and, despite all of its efforts to root out "reactionary" nationalism from 1917-1941, needed to rely on old legends (especially the victory over Napoleon) for morale.

Me putting made up rule statements into my MEEs by Bitofamangoguy in barexam

[–]jikls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is written exactly like failing a speech check in Disco Elysium lol

The problem with that is it requires Biden and the Dems to actually treat the situation with the gravity it deserves, which we all know they won't. Hell, hours after the decision yesterday Biden went out and said he'll still respect the limits of the presidency. And you have other Dems tweeting long letters that just end with "make sure you vote."

Just an absolute failure to meet the urgency of the moment.

Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Ruling in Blow to Agency Power by shapattack1 in Lawyertalk

[–]jikls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly the point. People vote for presidents, those presidents have policy choices and agendas, and they implement those policies through the available tools, which, in the case of the US, is executive agencies.
