That happened about a mile down from my house and I had heard nothing about it.

Following an investigation involving three state game wardens, a professional tracker from USDA, a team of hounds with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you, plus a feline saliva forensics expert in Sacramento, it's been determined that there is no corroborating evidence of a cougar attack. Charges against the cougar will be dropped and the City of Palo Alto will wait for the inevitable federal civil rights suit by the cougar.

Meanwhile, still no idea who killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.

But you are an insane person, and annoying, and so deserve to get smacked in the head for this. Employees who try to get all super-technical on stuff, and "outsmart" the system or what have you, never get what they ask for and generally get dismissed out of hand. For something this stupid and non-substantive, I would doubt that the governing body is going to give a shit either. They are probably worried a lot more about unlicensed practice of law, failure to fulfill CLE requirements, real and actual ethical violations like stealing money from clients, and stuff like that.

Did you make this up and post about it just to convince us you are an annoying little shit? I am starting to think you gave your login over to Penske.

Though, I guess you were in real estate and so all the mortgage stuff might have fucked with your income and stuff, so maybe you are taking the frustrations of that out on everything else.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that you are Spanky's opposing counsel on this one.

Either that, or you two fucked and it went badly.

I'm not practicing law and, to my knowledge, have never fucked the Spankster.

Bye Bye Heller

Heller Ehrman LLP, a 118-year-old law firm that opened its Silicon Valley branch in 1983, is expected to dissolve this week.

It's going to be a rough Christmas for a lot of people. I don't know anyone at Heller anymore, but I feel bad for those who are left.

This is a shame, good firm with good people. But the people I feel more for are the support staff. Let's face it, most of the attorneys will be okay--other firms are already salivating, but it might be a lot harder for some of the lower level staffers or admins/support to find jobs in this economy.

This is true. You almost never hire in the fall and a lot of firms have already trimmed their staff levels to run leaner.

I love this part..."Until then, please be aware that The Firm has work for you and expects you to report to work."

I wonder what their other expectation are? We expect you to arrive late, leave early and have a generally crappy attitude. We also expect you to drink heavily at lunch.

I haven't spent much time trying to understand the law, but it seems like they're saying "since we have to pay you for the next 60 days, we expect you to do some work during that period."
