I just got fired today. Boss was very nice to me then found out I wanted to be a lawyer. I had been there since June and she found I was taking LSAT Prep Classes. She put me on probation and attempted to drive me out of the office. Probation expired then today at the end of the day called me into her office and fired me. I had done a descent job. The company had countless errors with its work product it was insurance company. Everyone made errors. Errors where the excuse to drive me out. Overheard the phone conversation he wants to be attorney, lets gets him out of there. She off course denied it. Lawsuit is expensive, anCan I collect unemployment? Can I sue? I am only a year and half out of college, this is my second Job. The first I stayed for about year. Law school or other graduate school would be a year away. How much can I get in unemployment in California. I have a descent amount of money. six figures in the bank and still live at home as I was saving money to by my own place.

I'm sorry you got fired. But how many times are you going to ask this same question? This makes four over the last few days. You've gotten 26 answers to the first 3 times you asked.
As others have said several times, you should be able to collect unemployment. But that's only if you've been there long enough to qualify in your state. Go ahead and apply, and the unemp comp people will tell you if you qualify.
You don't have a basis for a lawsuit, no matter what you overheard.

Are you sure there isn't more to it ? What other reason would they have because it's peculiar they would fire you because you may some day become a lawyer.
Lawyer employees PROTECT the company rather than threaten it. It's known that even the Mafia, for instance, hires attorneys as accountants since the IRS can't force them to testify against their employer due to attorney-client priviledge.
For that reason it seems to me like it'd be safer to keep you than to fire you. I'd think twice about using that rationale for supporting your contention (unless you contend your supervisor was just a Bozo, which is even harder to prove).

as long as you were a probationary employee you can be terminated up to the last day that's why it is called a probationary period. You have asked this repeatedly, you have no rights your employment is at will. I believe you keep asking because your ego won't let you allow yourself to except the fact you were fired. It may not be the last so I would deal with and move on

You can't really sue because it is your boss' word over yours.
