The adoption of the commercial part rules? I’ll believe it when Kings CCP actually enforces them

likefunny

If you practice in federal court they're not all that groundbreaking. They were pretty much put in place by the commercial part lawyers because they're largely federal practitioners and were trying to make NY more like federal court. The problem is that federal court has much more time to manage cases. Who's going to supervise all this stuff? If it gets enforced, I think it's much worse for defendants than us. Cuts down on a lot of billing opportunities IMO.

If the courts actually enforced the CPLR it’s not a problem. I just feel like I’m going to be laughed at by a clerk when I point out how my adversary has failed to comply with the new rules.

Even with the old rules, discovery motions routinely lacked a necessary affidavit of good faith, courts were directing plaintiffs to file notes of issue with all discovery outstanding, it’s a mess.

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone - I'm contemplating an offer from a large PI firm. I'm a little more than halfway through completing my 2nd year of practice, and I'm currently at a small firm with a low salary that's just no longer cutting it.

The offer from the large firm is for a pre-suit position, base salary of $100K - is this salary pretty standard for this kind of position?

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!!
