For whatever reason, there are a ton of gay lawyers in Baltimore. On a regular basis,I've noticed myself, opposing counsel, and the judge are all gay. Anyone else experience this where they live?

Not as much as I’d expect to living in the Boston area.

Agreed.

It happened to me once during a trial in Manhattan. And coincidentally, Mandy Patinkin was on our venire (we did not select him for the jury). Word went around that he was there, and our courtroom was PACKED! Funny thing though, I (defense counsel), the prosecutor & the judge—the three out gay guys—were the only ones who had NO CLUE who this guy was! LOL!

Yes, it happens fairly often here in Seattle, too.

Hi..

I've been approached for a Manager - Technical Consulting position at Salesforce India.

How are the technical rounds on a quotient of 1-10(1 being very less and 10 being extremely technical)?
Should I prepare for something specifically?

And what is the current package provided by Salesforce for the same position?

Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for advice on starting a post consulting law career.

I graduated with a JD/MPP, passed the bar, and immediately started at a consulting firm. I’m coming up on my 2 year mark and want to make the switch to practicing law. I’ve been doing human capital consulting in the government space.

Anyone have a similar background? Or know ways to make the pivot? Thanks!

What should I be reading or researching? First gen lawyer here, always been small firm. I’m at a 2 attorney firm now and was just approached about becoming a partner. The boss wants to clean up the books so I can review them and we can discuss. Other than professional connections, I have no idea where to turn for info/insight. I’m definitely interested, but obviously this is a big decision, so I don’t think a “partner? Sure, I’m in” is appropriate.

How’s the LGBTQ community in other places. I’m in Los Angeles and I find it difficult to connect.

Just had a very uncomfortable conversation with a partner. I have some time off booked to go to my brother’s wedding (I’m the best man). We were chatting and I mentioned that my brother’s future husband is so nice and really a great guy, and we already consider him a member of our family. Partner’s tone immediately shifts and as we’re ending the call he says, “Okay, enjoy the time with your family at the civil ceremony.” Like… girl you live in California, you cannot be this backward.
