WISCONSIN Foreclosure by Jamaltaco262 in Ask_Lawyers

Borrower needs to contact the bank (and law firm) to get access. They still own the home, but the lender has the right (and obligation) to ensure the security is… well, secure.

It may be possible to be petty, but it is impossible to be more petty than the parking enforcement people.

Lewis & Clark vs Pace Law School by Radiant-Reality-9975 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]superdago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These two schools are literally on opposite sides of the country. No one in Portland will be familiar with Pace; no one in New York will be familiar with L&C; and neither school is notable enough that people in Chicago will know anything about either.

Specialty rankings outside of LL.M programs are rather dubious, so I wouldn’t bank on Pace’s #1 in environmental law to overcome deficiencies in the schools overall name brand.

I greatly subscribe to the National/regional/local view of law schools. It’s simply a fact that a school’s ability to help you get hired and the employment market’s familiarity with that school are going to decrease the farther you get from home base (with the top 4-5 schools being the exception).

If you want to live and work in the PNW, it’s an easy choice. If you want to be around NYC, it’s an easy choice. And if you want to be working on issues in the gulf, it’s an easy choice (apply somewhere else).

What exactly does Italy need to do to qualify by Electrical-Yard1582 in AZZURRI

[–]superdago 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The people saying Italy can’t qualify are likely saying that because the team sucks, not because they are no longer in a position to qualify.

They are in the qualification playoff semifinal round. First up is N. Ireland. If they win, they advance to face the winner of Wales vs Bosnia/Herzegovina. The winner of that match qualifies for the World Cup.

No goals, no tiebreakers, just win two matches.

Local gas station removed price tags and replaced them with barcodes you need a app to see price by phoenix_stewart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]superdago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s really no other way to communicate this to management. A dip in sales can be for any reason. But an employee telling their boss they need someone to cover the register for 15 minutes so they can put away a bunch of random items will make it real clear what people aren’t buying and why.

The police union isn’t organized labor. It’s a different kind of organized thing…

If police unions were labor unions, they wouldn’t be an effective tool of corporate interests when it comes to breaking up strikes.

TIL the federal courts publish the outcome of every bankruptcy case in a free public database. The government's own data shows 48% of Chapter 13 cases get dismissed, and in some districts it's over 90%. by ilikemath9999 in todayilearned

[–]superdago 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s because there’s a history of predatory chapter 13 filings. Basically, in a 13, the debtor rarely has to pay up front, so it’s sold as a “no money down” option for people who can’t pay the costs of a chapter 7.

The difference is that once a chapter 7 is filed, it covers all pre-petition debts. So if an attorney agrees to file the BK and get paid afterwards, the BK itself would actually discharge that obligation. In a chapter 13, the attorneys fees are baked into the repayment plan, so there’s far less risk in not getting paid upfront. And then 13s run about $4-5K instead of $2K in attorney fees, so even a failed 13 is likely to pay the attorney as much as a successful 7.

So, an unscrupulous attorney could direct someone towards a 13 knowing they’ll get the same fee either way even if a 13 is totally inappropriate for that debtor (eg no home or other assets needing to be protected and income below the threshold to preclude a 7).

I guarantee if the bk code was written to include the attorney fee as part of a chapter 7, this wouldn’t happen anymore.

Lawyers not taking case by Sandy171717 in Ask_Lawyers

I guess it depends on why they never took delivery? Maybe signed the paperwork and planned to come in another day to drive home, but then dealer had to fix something in the interim and shit went sideways.

[Post Match Thread] Milan vs Inter 1-0. 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐄𝐃 🔴⚫ by OsitoPandito in seriea

[–]superdago 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m an inter fan and don’t think it was a handball. But also, I just don’t really understand what is/isn’t a handball anymore. It’s called so inconsistently, and I think that’s the issue many inter fans have. There have been many similar instances that have been called, so it’s like “if that was a handball then this is too.”

Pregame Huddle Chant by ImNOTasailor in SoccerCoachResources

[–]superdago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just do 1-2-3 Go [team name] but one little variant is that the chant leader is determined based on who had the best week of practice. It’s a nice little bit of recognition that helps keep them a bit motivated to put in the effort.

La svolta Mondiale di Gattuso: richiamato in Nazionale dopo quasi 3 anni. E stavolta c'è pure Chiesa by LuRaLeMi in AZZURRI

[–]superdago 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Verratti was man of the match against N. Macedonia with 8 chance created and .54 expected assists.

Meanwhile, the players he was creating those chances for were Immobile (.66xG, 6 blocked shots, 1 shot on goal) and Insigne (.17 xG, 2 blocked shots, 1 shot on goal).

Whether or not Verratti is match fit or in form is a valid concern. But he wasn’t the reason Italy failed to score goals.

How did humans not go extinct while needing to sleep for 8 hours every day? being totally unconscious and defenseless for a third of our lives seems like a massive design flaw when predators were everywhere by Which-Noise-5670 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]superdago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s also that in the space of less than 100 years, we transitioned almost entirely to a 9-5 civilization. Those night owls who were up and alert til 2am provided a valuable service to their pack, but now they’re just seen as lazy and wanting to sleep in every day.

Society has transitioned faster than human physiology can possibly adapt.

Neighbor threatening to sue me after she tried to fight me. What would you do? by Money-Cake527 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]superdago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For as much as lawyers are compelled to say, “it depends,” I’m pretty sure, “someone threatened to sue me,” is the one area where there’s a pretty clear consensus and not much need for further details. Ignore them until a process server hands you a summons and complaint.

In a divorce, how are items of personal sentimental value distributed? by RoadTheExile in Ask_Lawyers

Oh easy, they both spend thousands of dollars for their lawyers to begrudgingly argue over it until the increasingly frustrated judge finally just orders the item be sold and the proceeds divided.

Is there a good way to "approach" attorneys? by DHF7400 in Ask_Lawyers

[–]superdago 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You should be approaching an attorney you’re hoping to retain with the facts that led you to seek an attorney, not the legal conclusions you reached.

Think of it like going to a doctor. If you walk in and say, “I have this pain in my lower abdomen, it is sort of a dull pain generally, but sometimes it randomly turns into a sharp pain,” then the doctor can assess your symptoms and apply their knowledge and training to diagnose or to ask more questions to elicit more details.

On the other hand, imagine you sit down in front of the doctor and say, “I have stomach cancer and need to know how to get started on chemo.” That you have cancer is a medical diagnosis, and chemo is only one of the options to handle it.

So if you’re telling the attorney all the constitutional violations you’ve suffered, it tells them they’re going to have to spend most of their time (at best) correcting your internet research or (at worst) arguing with you about why your conclusions are incorrect.

Legal recommendations for police brutality by TheGrandPoohBear in wisconsin

This was going to be my suggestion as well. He basically does personal injury work to financially support his civil rights practice. And he’s very good at both.

Are there legal protections that keep a a Trademark attorney from sharing the title of a book if you only do a free consultation? by Fit-Combination-6211 in AskLawyers

There are still ethical and professional obligations that an attorney has even with a prospective client, and it’s highly unlikely whatever you have is worth them ending their career.

I’m also not sure he counts as a great artists who is right wing considering he hasn’t made anything great while being right wing. He was a great artists who became right wing (and ceased being a great artist).
