For litigators, there’s a pretty robust body of case law in Florida. I’ve found that makes life a lot easier when researching. Smaller states have a much smaller corpus of law available for citation.

The lack of taxes. And I agree with BLA1 - big state with a robust body of case law.

I’m admitted in 3 other states and - Omg SO MUCH. How FL doesn’t babysit the cases. The plethora of case law. The efiling system actually works and is far superior to many other states. The fact that there are no state income taxes. The affordability of living compared to other larger metro areas. Literally EVERYTHING MAKES MORE SENSE and seems to be more rational and common sense based. The courthouses are much nicer (now). Proposals for Settlement. Most counties don’t force you to trial when both sides aren’t ready and you have a good reason. Mandated mediation. I’d move back in a heartbeat if I had the right opportunity!

The FL not “babysitting” the cases isn’t that great of a flex tbh

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Looking for a Christmas present for my girlfriend. Would like to stay under $250 (I’m a 1st year staff shes in grad school so don’t have much money). She likes gold — I’m thinking of getting her a necklace, which I believe I can only get gold plated in my price range. Does anyone have any suggestions of good brands to buy? First time looking at jewelry websites and they seem kinda gimmicky and would like one I can trust and get good quality. Thank you!

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

Additional Posts in Florida Law

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
