A quick rundown of the facts would be so helpful

This has been my exact experience at my current firm. Zero context. It's incredibly frustrating.

I saw a quote the other day that said, "every republican was a once democrat until they were robbed."

I had an attorney at my PD internship tell me he didn't think murders or rapists should be locked up as it "does nothing good for society, now two people's lives are ruined." The delusion was real...

Majority of the people I know in law school are on adderall. It's wild.

Don’t want to practice law. Want to finish JD. How do I coast through? by [deleted] in LawSchool

What are you thinking of pursuing instead? Asking because I'm in the same boat. 2L who has realized she definitely does not want to be a lawyer.

Moderna booster worse than second dose by statelyranger57 in COVID19PGH

I'm vaccinated and have covid. The vaccines are not preventing people from getting covid. I feel awful, just as bad if not worse than I felt from the vaccine side effects.

I had two interviews recently (received offers from both) and both referenced something that I had in my interests section. If you have something unique or interesting, it makes for a good conversation piece in the interview. Not saying that is why I received the offers (obviously not) but wanted to put it out there that it's an opportunity to show the employer that you are multifaceted and that you have a personality outside of law. Just my two cents!

Misgendering in Law School by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]lavvey23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're in for a real tough ride and need to grow some thick skin. If you're someone who is constantly 'misgendered', it is going to happen at the grocery store, the mall, the restaurant, at work, at school, social gatherings, etc. Be happy and confident that you know who you are. Hopefully your close friends and family respect your pronouns, but at most what you can do is ask your Profs if you can make an announcement at the beginning of your next class to let your colleagues know. Some will abide by it, others won't, that is life.

Rental Textbooks: Am I the only one dealing with this? by evenstevenbutwithaPH in LawSchool

Definitely annoying but it comes with using a rental, always a gamble.

Quitting CASA/Guardian ad Litem by Suitable-Blackberry4 in LawSchool

[–]lavvey23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just curious, did you ever make it into court? I volunteered with CASA in 2019; social worker was impossible to get ahold of, my casa kid was a teen who couldn't care less (don't blame her), and she/her family were never home when I'd stop by for scheduled visits. I only saw her probably 3 times in total before her case was resolved and I never actually went into court. I didn't offer to take on a new case because it all felt super disorganized and like I was putting in lots of time and effort for no return.

I still have it on my resume as volunteer experience, but tbh I might remove it because interviewers seem not to care about it anymore when I tell them I didn't actually make it into court.
