Procedural question. I represent a hospital. Codefendant is a company that manufactures breast implants. Case was venued in NY state Supreme Court. Manufacturer defendant transferred case to MDL (we hadn’t answered yet). Plaintiff gave me stip of discontinuance with prejudice but now since case was removed I am unsure how to proceed. Do I file the stip in state court still? Does MDL have jurisdiction over the hospital? Can a hospital even be part of a MDL lawsuit? Very confused! Thank you!!!

I got an offer from a firm I like. Offer is good I’m happy. But have a question — Would it be ok to push back on the start date in the offer letter? I would liken to have a week or two between when I’d end at current firm and start at new firm.

If this is ok, should I talk to them directly, or go through my recruiter?

Hello, I’ve been in HR for 9 months with no previous experience. I did really well in managing my daily tasks for the first 5 months but things have fallen behind as I’ve been tasked with owning FMLA and I just can’t seem to keep up with anything. My supervisor is now investigating everything I do and hinting at giving me a write up or worse. I have ADD and anxiety but I’ve been too embarrassed to say anything because not all companies embrace neuro diversity. WWYD?

Do you ever wish you didnt start your career in big law? To be honest, I feel like I didnt know any other paths to financially stability right out of law school. If you didnt start in Big Law, where did you start your career, how did you end up where you are now, did you reach financial stability? For context I live in the Bay Area where home prices are 1M+

I’ve spent 30 hours this week (+20 from the offshore team) guessing and checking/reorganizing rows to agree subtotals/show variances between various files that may be resolved in our SS call. I understand recreating/formatting schedules to show variances in order to ask questions/request more files when data has been provided but where and how do you draw the line?

I'm finding it rather difficult even though I would happily accept a pay cut to be doing something I enjoy.
