my firm has a policy that you can’t endorse political candidates or do something online that could be seen as lobbying. totally fair. my question is, does that include having a personal twitter account (without their name in your bio) and sometimes tweeting/rting about political issues? does that change if it’s in line with the pro bono work they do? assume the “all views mine” disclaimer is in your bio. thank you!

Engaged, and beginning to do joint retirement planning. I’move got IRAs, 401ks, the usual. My fiancé says she’s never opened an IRA because her parents started a program for her under New York life. Went to the website and it seems like it’s completely different - some annuities, some life insurance that you can withdraw early (?). Anyone ever go this route or have insight into it?

Does anyone here work for Change Healthcare and or are a new hire for them? I received all my equipment and it was working a couple days ago and now it’s not. My start date is tomorrow!

Anyone promoted mid year, have you seen a base pay increase?

Potentially dumb question but should I include a “tech & relevant skills” section on my resume like I would for job searching? FWIW I don’t have any special tech skills, no SQL etc. It would truly be listing Microsoft office, excel, tableau, and Salesforce which I feel like is so irrelevant and I don’t want to waste real estate if I don’t have to

Went with the 4R yellow label this evening, forgot how much I love this stuff, especially for the price. Really hits the spot.

How do you tell a partner you are running behind on an assignment? I’m constantly getting assignments to be turned around within a few hours or by the next day (even on weekends). This inevitably gets me behind on other assignments and I am working for several partners who don’t work in the same group.

I know it’s only Tuesday but in recognition of the latest batch of frivolous and ill-considered objections to come across my inbox... Lewis Brisbois sucks. Thanks for the billing and inevitable sanctions, but come on!

My family is in need of a residential real estate lawyer who works within disputes and can practice in Haywood County, NC. Does anyone have any good leads on who I can contact? Basically, my dads co-owner of a property gave no notice and did NOT involve him in leasing the property they are joint owners of. He cannot evict as he is NOT involved in the leasing agreement. What are his options as to access to the property as well as his belongings. Also, is there any issues in terms of liability?

I’ve started working at this law firm back in March of this year. I wasn’t too familiar with the law field and was in school to become a paralegal. I accepted this position of being an administrative assistant at their firm and started to learn a lot of things that my major would cover. I work with 3 other people including two attorneys and one paralegal. Fast forward a few months now, I’ve started to realize that this firm may not be a good fit for me. But I’m finding it hard to leave, tips?

Advice to young lawyers. Read a book.

I saw the thread about savings and many young lawyers (20s and 30s) don’t know how to open up a brokerage account or invest in their 401k. I know they don’t teach personal finance in school (though they should!), but my advice is that you should go to your local library and read a book about the subject. You have the skills necessary but you must invest in yourself. No one will look out for you.

Anyone else loathe doing discovery, put it off forever, then get sick to the stomach when OC throws a fit about it being late? How do I break this pattern?
