Waiting now 13 months for a decision on a pre-answer motion to dismiss for an employment/business law dispute. Been administratively adjourned eight times and bounced around now two judges. The applicable law is straightforward, requires some reading but nothing heavy lifting, so it should not take this long. Of course client is livid, but what can I do? Has anyone ever actually had any luck with a phone call to chambers in this situation? And what's the longest you ever waited for a decision?

Just for fun: what's the most interesting science project you worked on in grade school?

Has anyone here been a company’s first in house hire, or been involved in the decision to make a first legal hire? One of my outside counsel clients (high growth start up ~4 years in) has reached out to me about hiring a GC and it potentially being me. I haven’t seen a client through this transition and setting aside the question of if I want to make the move, I wonder whether they’re actually at the point where they really need someone in house. Interested in hearing perspectives on this.
