One of my practice areas is a small niche community where clients like to gossip. It has recently gotten back to me that opposing counsel has been running their mouth within this community about my abilities and how I handle cases. This is my first ever case with this OC and they have no way of knowing how I handle cases as I recently relocated from another state. How should I approach OC about this?

You don't. What would that accomplish?
And I don't mean that in a be the bigger person way. I mean you can't control what they are saying. They aren't going to issue a retraction. And you give them and actual interaction to gossip about

What specifically are they saying? What rule do you think it violates?
And what is your understanding of how your local disciplinary body would handle it?

How do you strategically answer the question “what is your expected pay range?” when the pay range listed is $20-$40/hr (salaried) and you want to negotiate towards $45/hr? I feel like I shocked my interviewers when I told them my expectations. I haven’t really experienced this feeling but I understand the shock since I’ve been on the other side. I feel like I should know the answer, but somehow it feels much different.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion
