Lykourgos posted:Has anybody used examsoft for the bar? I just got an e-mail for the IL bar asking whether or not I wanted to pay $100 for the honour of taking the bar on my laptop. Is it worth $100? What is it like? I type about four times faster than I handwrite and about a million percent more legibly. Combine that with the ability to edit what I wrote and taking the test on a laptop was invaluable to me. Of course, tons of people take the test with pen and paper and supposedly the passage rates between the two formats are similar. But I wouldn't skip out on using your laptop just to save $100 if it will at all impact your ability to successfully complete the test.

nm posted:I got up at noon and since have been watching anthony bourdain wondering how I'm going to burn my 4 weeks of vacation per year (actually won't burn all 4 weeks because I'm trying to kiss rear end to get tenure, but i can accumulate up to 14 weeks, so whatever). That entry level. After 10 years, I get 6 weeks. I, uh, took two sick days last year.

Soothing Vapors posted:Yeah. Recently our marketing department basically put a gun to our heads and made us update our bios and it's so loving rough Started 2.5 years ago, was told to submit a firm bio last summer. Did so. It's still not posted to the website. Can't figure out why. Because they can't bill a client for it.

Canada goons: I am a dirty American trying to figure out if a trade association based in Montreal has been a defendant in any Canadian personal injury lawsuits (based on doling out hazardous advice). Is there a publicly available resource that would be a good place to start (e.g. low level court with a publicly searchable database of case filings)?

A Game of Chess posted:We are definitely getting some asbestos cases, luckily that won't be all that we're doing. It's basically any large complex tort case with multiple plaintiffs and generally a corporation for a defendant, there are a bunch of categories within it and I think we're getting assigned to an arbitration and appeals room. Nah, ghoulish would be loving asbestos cases. (No love here, just a hollowed out soul.)

Relatively old blog by a dude who clerked in Palau for a year: http://stuffedwombat.com/faq.htmlquote:[T]hink of it this way: if Hawaii is the Pacific's version of New York City, Guam would be the Pacific's version of, say, Cleveland, and Palau would be, say, Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you can't picture yourself learning to like living in Tulsa, you probably shouldn't be considering Palau. Of course, this was before the space aliens dropped the replica of the US Capitol into the jungle, so it's probably a little more cosmopolitan now.

The Warszawa posted:Seriously, this and purple prose are the two worst things. I've seen some bad writing. One of the partners I write summary judgment motions for really, really likes to EMPHASIZE POINTS in annoying ways. A little piece of me dies each time. VVV I'd like to think that my writing doesn't need that kind of emphasis. Especially when I'm trying to subtly slip in that opposing counsel is dumber than a kindergartner.
