Has anyone waived into the NY Bar from California via D.C.? If so, I’d appreciate learning more about the process.

What? Does this really work? If so, I assume it doesn’t work the opposite way (waiving into CA via DC) since I’m pretty sure that CA doesn’t allow any waivers… But intrigued to learn that the other way is possible?

I would definitely double check, I know a lot of states require you to have been barred by examination in the jurisdiction you are using for reciprocity (so you can’t use a jurisdiction you waived into as the basis for waiving into their jurisdiction), but I’ve never looked specifically into NY waiver requirements since they’re a UBE jurisdiction, so if is definitely plausible what SC1 described is still in place as their alternative (most states I’ve looked at don’t require your years of experience be in a specific jurisdiction).

If you sat for the bar in DC didn’t you take the UBE you could just use for NY instead of trying to waive?

When your firm requires billable hours, how are they calculated? Actual vs realized (I.e. what you put on your billing sheet vs what is billed to the client). Does your firm differentiate? Which number do they go by? My mind is somehow not comprehending how some big law hours are under my small firm requirement?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
