Unprecedented! Been following this case and read the opposition motion. I’ve never seen partners and former employees corroborating an associate who sued story.

Also, it’s before Judge Jia M. Cobb, an African American female judge with experience in public defender and civil rights work.

I think firms commonly settle after summary judgment.

If there is a hearing or oral argument, note that you may be able to listen in remotely. The dial-in info is on the DC courts website.

My work quality is slipping due to brain fog and mental health issues and I don’t know how to address it with my firm or who to go to. I was considered one of the best associates in our practice group, but now it can take me 3-4x the time to write an average brief. I can’t seem to think and organize my thoughts any more.

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?
