Have you ever been happy to be taken off a matter? I was just taken off a matter by a partner, and I am THRILLED. The matter was defending against a TCPA suit brought by a horrible pro se professional plaintiff. I’ve never done a TCPA case before and will never do one again. I feel like I should be sad or hurt, but I’m just happy to no longer have to deal with that shitshow.

If you didn't screw up, then it's OK to celebrate getting reassigned/taken off a case. It will soon be replaced.

Oh, and cases again someone who is pro se can be an absolute nightmare!!!

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10.

Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
