It is absolutely WILD that federal Democrat judges are entering orders purporting to enjoin the President of the U.S. That should be an immediate impeachment against every single offending judge. Imagine if a federal judge purported to enjoin Congress members from passing legislation that is X, Y, or Z. It’s the same thing. If red flags aren’t going off in your brain, you are unworthy of the title lawyer, and should not be sitting on any bench in any country on Earth.

Any boulder (rock climbing) gyms you can recommend?

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm.

For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Does anyone enjoy lender work? If so, what about it did you find appealing? I’ve somehow been saddled with all the lender work at my firm (despite never having expressed an interest in it and having no experience with it) and it’s miserable.
