I am so deeply disturbed over the news of Steven Cozzi, attorney in Largo, FL, who was allegedly murdered by the Plaintiff (a plastic surgeon) of a case that Cozzi represented the Defendants on … Plaintiffs claim was for a little under $40k, and had been ongoing since 2019. Cozzi was attacked in his firm’s bathroom about an hour before a court hearing that was scheduled on the case. He was a civil litigator, just doing his job! 😓 Can’t even wrap my head around any of it… hits too close to home..

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

What is the benefit of working at the Cook County State's Attorneys Office other than the rapid trial experience one gains?

I attended a networking event and met so many State's attorneys who seemed to enjoy the work bc of the experience they were gaining.

Sort of feel its a job more geared to folks who never worked in law before.

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.
