Has anyone waived in to MN before as in house counsel? One of the requirements is actively practicing law for 36 of the last 60 months. I was in compliance for a number of years and am wondering if that will be a snag. I did perform legal functions but it mentions demonstrate evidence of and so I was just curious about any experience others may have had.

I am also in corporate compliance, and am licensed in MN. Let’s connect.

I doubt compliance work would count for legal work. Kind of wished it did. I am currently seeking an in-house role.

Would love to read a detailed explanation of the perceived differences between compliance and legal.

Typically depends on the type of compliance. In my role, it’s tracking federal and state regulations and assessing potential impact / risk to the bank or company. I draft memoranda and disseminate to compliance subject matter experts and legal to risk rate the item.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
