Why is this bowl so quiet?

Looking for recommendations for a hooded dryer. Mine is about 15 years old and it’s served me well, but it’s time to upgrade. TIA

Anyone here work in the brand partnerships/media landscape? Would love to grab a coffee! My experience is primarily in fashion but I feel like I need some insight into the market here. I’m from NYC.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.

Any upcoming law conferences/events?

I’m looking for a paralegal opportunity in the DMV/NYC/NJ area, preferably remote but I’m open to a hybrid schedule. I’ve an LL.B. (2014), and currently working as an appellate paralegal with experience in bankruptcy, civil rights litigation, and family law. I’m open to all areas of the law. Please comment if you are or know someone/law firm/in-house who’s looking for a paralegal.

Any thoughts on how the litigation going on between Twitter and Elon Musk is going pan out?

M&A/PE associate (trying to juggle multiple deals) feeling like I don’t have time to dive deeper into issues and it being highlighted in some of my work product as I am having to turn things right away and just pushing things out - so issues I may have caught if I had a better/deeper/higher level understanding are more apparent when partners review. Truly feeling like I’m just messing up all around but trying to give myself grace. How do you know if it’s just you or a part of the process?

Last week, I mentioned that I needed to take an appointment (my therapy appointment) this Wednesday at noon. I also mentioned that this is a medical appointment, and I don’t feel comfortable moving the appointment. I just received an email that I need to be available. How can I stick to my boundary?

*Manifestation thread* What is your dream firm you'd want to work for?

Hello,

I got a letter from my apartment regarding unlawful detainer.

The apartment refused to take our rent for almost 4 months because it was paid in a personal check and not cashier’s check.

I have 5 days to respond, what should I do please?

Two more weeks until the new year. Is anyone else struggling to finish the year off strong?

I’ve been thinking about law school for far too long and want to take the plunge. Where do I start? Any recommendations for studying for the LSAT?

This bowl was originally created for black attorneys in big law, but since it’s the only bowl for black attorneys, many black attorneys in other sectors have joined. Some people are apprehensive about starting another bowl for all black attorneys because it will take away from this bowl. Assuming that the conversations & topics will stay the same, What are you thoughts on keeping this bowl solely for black in big law verses Opening this bowl to any black lawyer?

Do you ever feel like there are rooms you’re locked out of? I’m a black woman, i lateraled to my group a few months ago with minimal onboarding and welcome. A white woman joined recently and everyone has bent over backwards to make her feel welcome and get her integrated into the group. People have invested less in me and it’s going to show in a few years when she’s up for partner and I’m still catching up.

To be honest, has anyone found that working for a male supervisor is much easier than working for a female supervisor? It’s just me?
