Does anyone know of any pharmacies that were lucky enough to get quick shipments of the new COVID-19 booster?

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.

At what point does it switch from hooking up to dating?

Any thoughts on what a “standard” origination credit system is for associates at a midsized litigation boutique in Texas? The system is solidified for partners but more hazy for associates. Hoping to get some guidance.

I am 2 years out and have a secretary for the first time. How do I use her? I’m use to doing everything myself at my prior firms.

International arbitration people: I understand that lawyers practicing in France usually specialize in ICC proceedings, Londoners in LCIA. Where are the lawyers usually arguing before the PCA generally located?

I’m a first year associate at a Big Law firm. Most of my assignments have been research memos and summary emails. I enjoy research but the questions asked are never obvious and the answer is usually nuanced, unclear, or the perfect case just doesn’t exist. As a result, it usually takes me a while to craft an answer that I feel confident in. However, more and more often I’ve been given very short deadlines to turn over the research, as short as 3-4 hours for a complicated question. Is this common

I live in FL and my AC has an internal leak, landlord refuses to replace it anytime soon. Electric bills are now $300 for an apartment. He isn't doing anything about his aside from coming to the unit to see the issue himself. What type of recourse can I get this is insane.

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.

My firm is trying to stealth fire me, but my high risk pregnancy is making it difficult to find a new job. I still have ongoing cases and good relationships with certain partners. (Cont’d)

Florida: After a car accident can the driver injured in the other vehicle sue the husband (wife was driving the at fault vehicle) for negligent entrustment? Wife & husband both on the car’s title. I understand they have dangerous instrumentality, but how can you say the car was “entrusted” to someone who has rightful legal title to it?

What is a reasonable amount to accept to settle a case with undisputed liability? Let’s say for example potential damages are realistically $100k-1M. Let’s say cost of defense is $200k. No chance of them getting out on SJ or a MTD. Is cost of defense a reasonable starting point? It seems like an offer below that would not be serious.

Can anyone provide insight on market rate for “of counsel” (practicing 10 years) at a mid-size ID firm in Philadelphia?

Is 180 billable hours per month a high “target” (to use the firm’s vernacular) or expectation?Although it may not be unreasonably high, I believe it is a high number and would at least appreciate someone at my firm acknowledging that. Perhaps I’m wrong and I’m sure you’ll tell me if so.

Is having too much “attention to detail” a bad thing?

Best suit brands?

I work at a small firm with not that many workable templates so I usually have to do everything from scratch like drafting motions, pleadings, and researching all potential counts every time. Do bigger firms have better and more templates that allow you to have to do less research?

California is the venue. We recently served Trial Subpoenas on a number of medical doctors. Two just responded that they will not show up and will not sign an on-call agreement. Thinking of requesting a bench warrant when they fail to appear. Thoughts?

Deadline to Answer was missed, judicial default was entered, then a Default Final Judgment was entered without a hearing. Would this be an additional grounds for a Motion to Set Aside/Vacate?

Was first put on notice when DFJ was issued.

Headhunters/Recruiters…
I was contacted out of the blue by a headhunter last week promising to do their best to place me in an AMLAW200 firm as a lateral. (4 years practicing, all litigation; looking to move to transactional).
