Why are pro se plaintiffs the worst people to deal with? They really have no respect for the legal system.

I once had a pro se plaintiff accuse us of breaking into her home and hacking into her printer. She would also file random documents that she covered in sharpie with unintelligible comments, circling/underlining words, and arrows pointing all over the place. It felt exactly like this meme.

Yep, my guy accused us of putting someone outside the building he lived in to intimidate/stalk him.

Pro Se people are the worst and honestly, you can thank the fraud sitting in the White House for the increased hostility towards lawyers, judges and the system as a whole.

That’s unfair. The system was also used as a weapon against him and that showed in real time-that was what lost a lot of respect for the justice system

Aww, bummed to see this is a dead bowl. Anyone still around?? Getting ready for our first internal off-site and I haven't seen the rest of my team in person for almost 3 years now. I'm more nervous about the new folks that I have only met via Teams, including my 1st-ever direct report. I feel fine in my own skin most of the time but when I am in new and unfamiliar situations I get crazy body dysmorphia and super concious of my physicality. Any ideas on what I can I do to temper those feelings?

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Transactional junior associate in biglaw. Working for a dedicated practice group rather than in an associate pool. For the past few months, I’ve been loaned to another practice group for a good chunk of time. While the people are decent and the hours aren’t terrible, I detest the work and don’t see a future in this new practice. My main partner says it should end in the next month, but I don’t expect that to happen. Is it a terrible idea to ask to be taken off?
