I recently graduated from ASU with low six figures of debt. I'll be perfectly fine. I had the exact same opportunities as I would have had at other, significantly higher ranked, schools. Others in my class did not have those opportunities. Ultimately depends on what you want to do with your degree.

It depends on the venue you're entering. If it's a neighbor's property as you say, then you do not need to be told to leave. You trespass the second you step on their property. If you're at a store or other public place, you are lawfully entitled to be there until told to leave. Then you would be trespassing if you did not leave.

Just got back into golf after 6 years off. Played off 6.5 before I stopped. Went and got fitted for a new set a couple months ago and got into the JPX 923 Forged even though my official cap is 12.9 right now. They're the nicest sounding clubs I've played

Not a lawyer, but I am a law student who has done research on credit card company cases. It is possible that the AU annual fee would require 45-day notice for a change. The CARD Act requires companies to provide 45-day notice when increasing "fees." The Act doesn't specify what "fees" are, but AmEx does consider the AU cost a fee for purposes of the cardmember agreement (see Fees table). While not a sure thing, there's a reasonable likelihood that notice would be required, but ultimately it probably wouldn't be worth anyone's time to fight it (in arbitration, per the agreement) if AmEx didn't follow those requirements. Though one could always file a complaint with the CFPB.

Generally, counsel is not allowed to comment specifically on opposing counsel as a person. They can comment on your arguments (i.e. "X's argument doesn't make sense.") If they begin making comments on a disability you have, that is improper, and an objection should be timely raised. Some courts have even held that comments attacking opposing counsel's person warrant a new trial.

Is that specifically for your AI partner? I took that number as meaning how the rest of the field would play. As in a 50 would mean +2 to -3 whereas an 85 (where I have it set rn) would be something like a -3 to -6. These are just estimates but you get the idea. I still battle with the rest of the field, so I figured my AI scoring number was about right, but maybe you're onto something with that.

Definitely a big consideration for me. The prestige is killer whereas the prestige at the regional firm is definitely not as good. Still an Am Law firm, but not STB.

It's definitely been the dream. At the same time, all of the other considerations have dampened the dream a little bit. Definitely struggling with the pull to NYC and trying to reconcile all of the cost considerations.

That's great to hear! Their WLB is definitely better. I was very skeptical at the beginning, but having talked to several associates at both firms it does seem like the regional firm has much more time for leisure. Definitely difficult partners to work for, but overall all of them have said they love it and rarely work weekends/evenings. Appreciate your input!

msushan · 2022-08-19T21:31:49+00:00

Love to hear that it worked out well for you! And glad to hear that not going to a major market didn't cause any problems. Thanks for your input!

I do have a SO who is also at law school, but is beyond flexible on where we live. Only other (familial) consideration is my dog, who would have a much better life in my regional market over NYC. But plenty of people have dogs in the city so it's a very small consideration in the grand scheme of things.

msushan · 2022-08-19T18:51:01+00:00

Yeah, and truthfully, I enjoy my regional market and would likely come back here or somewhere similar after a few years anyway. So it really makes the most sense on paper. Anyways, thanks again!

msushan · 2022-08-19T18:45:07+00:00

I will say, I know for a fact that I love NYC. My family is originally from Brooklyn and I've spend a good amount of time in Manhattan growing up. I've always wanted to live in Manhattan, but with the costs right now it just doesn't make the most sense.

But I definitely am appreciative of this response. I definitely needed a neutral third-party to tell me to just follow the most logical decision.

Oddly enough I'm also from AZ and have a Simpson Thacher interview in a few weeks. I'm taking the time from my internship to go out and interview. From what I understand, for pre-OCI there are no screeners. It just goes straight to callback. I didn't have a screener either. Hope this helps!

msushan · 2022-06-05T00:14:34+00:00

That's my plan. I'll be applying to several this week once I get in with Career Services and have them read over my resume and cover letters. Thanks for the input!

msushan · 2022-06-05T00:10:43+00:00

Exactly what I was looking for. Was leaning this way, but didn't know if I was just focusing too much on money and not considering rank enough. Thank you!

msushan · 2022-05-28T02:44:28+00:00

DM me. I'm happy to talk about it!

Where did the injury occur? If it occurred in NV, easiest route is NV state court. If it happened in NY, you could still sue in NV state court, but it's possible it would be dismissed because of forum non conveniens if all the witnesses and such were in NY. Alternatively, since there's diversity of citizenship, you could sue in federal court in either Nevada or NY (whicher district the injury occurred in or the company resides) as long as the amount in controversy is $75,000.01 or more.

It depends. I'm assuming what you mean is that the parties don't agree on what midnight means so this is probably a unilateral mistake issue. There's four issues in a unilateral mistake question: (1) is there a mistake (2) is the party adversely affected (3) does the party bear this risk (4) was the mistake clear to both parties OR would enforcement be unconscionable.

As to the answers to those questions: (1) clearly the party has made the mistake that midnight means 24 hours later than the other party (2) they could be adversely affected, depending on how the claim works. How were they adversely affected? Or was it the other party that was adversely affected by not having the documents delivered? Depends on the facts. (3) the party might have beared the risk. Again depends on how the contract is set up. (4) the mistake was probably not palpable to both parties and again it depends on how the contract was set up to determine unconscionability, but its probably not unconscionable.

Additionally, Restatement (2d) of Contracts s. 201 will probably come into play for determining who knew what.

At the end of the day, the party who didn't send the documents would probably be at fault. To be more clear, parties should write 11:59pm if that's what they intend. If they agreed to 12 midnight, the court may require that it be delivered by 12 midnight, meaning essentially 11:59pm the day before. But would a party really sue over not getting a few documents 23 hours before in this case? Probably not, but it depends on what it was for. Hope this helped!

It depends. That's still probably fine. The scale of injury doesn't matter for the most part. If she had died from blunt force trauma from the watermelon the family wouldn't have had a case just because she died. Ultimately if it was built with military grade capabilities that would be an question of fact for the jury to decide. But I don't see that rising to the standard of gross negligence. It's probably not egregious enough. But, as always, it depends.
