Anybody know if there’s a Toronto Lawyers bowl?

I'm currently an IC, and would eventually like to get into management. It's not clear if there's a path for me at my current company, because my team has always been understaffed and I have a unique skill set that makes me important to keep in my current role.

Worth buying a linen blazer for the summer or just getting a super fine wool (s110 or s120) blazer for all seasons?

Has anyone been to the Zoolights at the Zoo? I have never been, I'm relatively new to the area. Is this a good event for a casual walk around date night?

RE Attorneys: When sending title objection letters, how do simplify them for parties on the other side who “just don’t get it”? I try my hardest to explain the purpose of the TOL and that most of the objections will be handled by the title company, but most sellers don’t understand, ignore the TOL, and blow the seller response deadline. Most of the time the only response that is needed is “Yes, Seller agrees to satisfy all B-I requirements and to execute an owners affidavit at closing...”

Should I list my side hustle on my resume or leave it off?

Cons: I’m worried people might think it’s too much of a time commitment.

Pros: it’s reasonably impressive. I bootstrapped a company into existence on my free time and it has an impressive list of clients now. Profitable.

I’m technically the majority share holder, not an employee of the side hustle (it’s legally a company now). And I have employees that manage the daily activities.

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?

Just found out I will be taking two depositions in the near future. These are not key witnesses but I am still nervous. I’ve only been licensed since October of last year and still feel like I have no clue what I’m doing half the time. Any deposition tips?

TIL: That just because you are a good lawyer does not mean you are good paralegal. Most lawyers are /would be terrible paralegals.

Partner went to bat for me! 🙂
Last night, I got a nastygram from a client who basically wanted to forego due diligence in a major buyout we’re helping him with. “Stop requesting documents and just draft me my docs.” But we literally don’t know who owns what right now, terrible corporate records. This morning, the partner told me he’ll probably fire this client, big pat on the back.

Is there recent data on average billable hour requirements by firm size and salary? It looks like NALP and what pops up online are outdated.

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

tfw you realize you could have earned just as much money as a high-end lsat tutor

Trying to explain billable hrs to hubs. I billed 160 this month, which he said “is only 40 hr weeks” (true) - but how many hrs do you figure you “work” or are in the office to bill 150?

Feel like I’m going to turn out to be a loser doing ID and be making crap money forever.

Any advice applying to big banks? For law firms you can send them an email but how do bigger banks do things?

Anyone else feel like work/billable hours gets in their way of taking care of their life? Hate having to choose between working to keep up with billables and taking care of my life whether that's the gym or whatever else. Feel like I never have enough time for both.

Can someone recommend a good printer for home office use? I need something I can print 10-20 pages per day on. My law school printer is on its last leg.

Been at my firm 6 months. Feel I've been catfished in the sense I was told I would be working on securities actions and I've been getting civil rights actions. Too early to jump ship ?

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Does anyone have any insight as to the salary for PWC Office of General Counsel attorneys?

I’ve been doing ID for about 2 years now. Mostly slip and fall and WC work. Long-term, I want to move out of ID. I’m currently interviewing at a firm that does ID, but mostly does insurance coverage opinions. They also do some more complex ID, such as L&E.

With the ultimate goal of moving completely out of ID, would this be seen as a step up? I appreciate any and all feedback. TIA

Anyone work at Rivkin Radler Long Island office? What are pros/cons?

Which law school has the best professorship?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
