Law & Legal

Here's the skinny: I'm 25. I made good grades in school and went to college for a time before I dropped out. I have a relatively successful career in Marketing, but it isn't exactly what I pictured myself doing for the rest of my life. I have an aptitude for logic and details as well as public speech and communication in general.

I am not currently enrolled in college. But, here we go. I've always been interested in law.. but never really -really- considered it as a career path before. However, I'm getting older.. have a family.. and am, to a certain degree, unfulfilled by my current career path. Also, I'd like to make more money. Though, by the time I actually graduated law school, my salary would probably be comparable to a recent law graduate.. probably a bit more.

So, what are the chances of me going back to school and making it? Would it take me more than 7 years, could I do it in less? Is there a such thing as a"happy" lawyer? Anyone go to law school "later" in life?

Now it looks like I'm going to be layoff, because I know they are hiring someone else for the same position that I was suppose to be in. I've been waiting for a space and this has been going on for 3-4 months. I need some ideas.

Many of my friends graduated from top law schools such as Yale, Georgetown, and GWU.

Three girls become secretaries. A girl becomes air hostress!
None of my friends are lawyers.

What do you think of this?

Thank you very much...

My boss is being demoted. A position is being created for him. I am also interested in this position. Can my employer just create this position and appoint him to it, or are they legally obligated to "post" this position and allow others to apply for it?

If you were a recruiter, how would you sell work in the public sector to a student who has the choice between government and private jobs, specifically, work at the Attorney General's office?

If you were a student, what would attract you to public sector work, knowing it pays approximately 2/3 of that of a private sector job?

I've just been resently let go from a firm...their base for firing meb was b/c a security guard that works in the building where the clients are, stated that I threw something at him (which is complete lie). The firm let me go b/c their who is stationed insided the building that the guard works in is the firms bread and butter. The firm didn't want any bad reviews from anyone from the client's buidling. now, the guard works for the management company of the building. I don't believe that he has any direct relations with the clients. I told my firm that the accusations bestowed upon me is complete false and that I have zero knowledge of the made up incident. Now, could I bring a separate civil suit against the guard for false accusation which ultimately cost my job? I asked to review the surveilance tape to back up the guards claim...the firm stated they didnt' think so....I'm just really pist.

I still have over 120 hours of "leave time" that has to be used up before December 31, 2007. I have tried to use it but I am a supervisor and when I leave even for a few days...well it's just more trouble than it's worth. I wind up cleaning up other co-workers mistakes and making more work for me in the long run. No paperwork was done, alot of customer complaints, security issues, etc. I'd rather just get paid for my hours owed, but it's not the policy here.

I work in a department at a law firm with a woman who can only be described as a BULLY. She has a rep around this town wherever she has worked as a Bully, and has been disciplined at her last firm for always bullying the other staff members she worked with, and trying to always pick out the easiest work to do so that her work always looks perfect. And, then complaining to managment because the other staff members more difficult projects have minor problems.

Sadly, this woman came to this firm with a phony letter of reference and the office manager and supervisor did not call and check out her background at her last law firm.
I tried to talk to the office manager about this problem & she told me, you had better get alone with her, because "her work is perfect" (not tru& she comes with sterling recommendations. (Which, of course I know to be untrue). I am just at a quandry as to what to do to handle this. I am 66 years old and have to work 3 more years & need the job

My husband just quit a salary job in Ga. to accept a new job in our home state of Tn. He turned in a two week notice and his boss in Ga gave him a week off with pay to think about staying. In the middle of that week he called and asked him to go to a company in Tn to help with some quality issues. It was 3 hours one way to get there & 3 hrs back, plus 6 hours to help with the problem. It took two days to settle the problem. Now, the old company has refused to pay him for the entire last week he worked, saying they didn't owe him any vacation because he took off that week with pay, and his job ended on a Wednesday. If he was a salary employee can they do this? When employeed with them there were days he worked 6 days a week without overtime, but now they are trying to say they broke down his weekly salary to just the three days he worked. Where can I go online to get more info about this?
