Call first. Much easier conversation if you have consent for the adjournment from your adversary.

Call the court. See what it says. Sometimes you can motion to continue with prior knowledge. Submit an agreed upon order continuing and judges will often grant it. Judge doesn’t want to waste his or her time on unprepared arguments.

Possible, but depends on who you're before. If you don't have Chambers' contact, the QCA's number is 718-262-7300. Have your docket number on the ready and just kill them with kindness while asking as "you're unsure of who you need to speak to" and you should be able to get Chambers etc.

She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

I am a new (lateral) associate at a small firm where everyone currently works from the office. When I started, I wasn’t told specific firm hours. I’ve tried to figure out when to come and go based upon when the partners arrive and leave, but their schedules are very inconsistent. The other associates don’t have helpful guidance for me. Assuming that if I ask the partners they’ll say to use my discretion, what are reasonable hours to keep?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
