Any recommendations for a rollerball/ballpoint pen, something entry-level? Not looking to spend a lot. Just a standard but “nice” refillable ballpoint pen to use at the office, something that looks like a classy pen that I can use every day and keep as sort of an accessory.

Any recommendations? And don’t tell me to join the Pen15 club. I already fell for that one

Fishes,

Does anyone know about the IAAP diploma in IFRS?

IAAP is an awarding body in UK.

My doubt is, does the value of the certificate of IFRS change depending on the Institution?

Will a person who cleared IFRS from IAAP have same value as a person who cleared IFRS from ACCA?

Thanks in advance

Any suggestions?

Technical question: if I work for a firm in State A, am barred in State A, but live and work remotely in State B, where my firm has no presence, am I breaking any rules in State B?

If you could ask for anything at your firm what would you ask for? (Something realistic but a stretch)

Billables are low this month. Like I have 65 billable hours in so far. I’ve messaged partners over the last week to try and get more cases but there are tons of new associates who were just onboarded and were at a low point for business. I’m freaking out

How often do temporary "might-become-permanent" type jobs (at small/mid size firms) actually become permanent?

Work is an emotional rollercoaster - change my mind.

200k in student loans. Unmarried, no kids. If you had to choose - Would you prioritize paying them down/off or saving up for big ticket items like a house/retirement?

Anyone know when Ch. 7 BKs must close by? Is this changed by when there are adversary proceedings (alleged fraudulent transfers made to a bank for CC payments)? Asking for my friend who is unfortunately involved bc of his parents, who are the debtors (he isn’t a defendant or a debtor in this, but the payments were made to a CC in his name—a CC he didnt know was opened in his name).

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

How do you properly vet a law firm? I feel the associates I speak with talk up the firm and aren’t always candid.

I get asked for legal advice often from family / friends. When it’s something legitimate I often offer to help ( I have my own firm / practice) however when it’s BS I’m pulling the oh it’s not my practice area line…. How do you manage the line here?

Biglaw transactional associate - only at 81% utilization on the year. Feeling like a failure. Just need some extra motivation.

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?
