This article about the “mutual” parting of ways for the City of Henderson and the assistant city manager mentions that the City paid Littler Mendelson almost $11,000 to investigate claims of sexual harassment. This got us wondering how many of you perform investigative services as part of your law practice. We know many of you hire investigators, but do any of you do it yourself? Any recommendations or tips related to this part of the practice of law?
General question, what time is Gonzales general calendar heard? What time?
I love investigations work. It's interesting, a nice change of pace, and easy billables. Clients hate investigations work, especially since most firms I know use two attorneys per interview.
Smart for the client too, because the findings of the investigation are protected by the attorney-client privilege/work product doctrine, and kept from prying eyes.
Unless you are Wynn and accidentally disclose it.
All my "white collar" buds in New York basically do investigations all day every day. It sounds absolutely terrible. Zero court time. Zero briefing. Just go talk to some employees, write a memo, send it to the guy that used to be a prosecutor at some fancy DOJ office and now charges 1200 per hour to grind out memos and use the word Upjohn.
I am 10:07 above. I do L&E, so my investigations are rare and interesting. I have a friend from law school who does FCPA work in New York. She is a midlevel and the work sounds terrible. My investigations work (and the investigations work described above) is nothing like doing FCPA or other white collar investigations.
But how often do you say Upjohn?
Boyd School Alumni is holding a fundraiser for Elaina Graham. I have a problem with these on so many levels, but I will let others discuss…
After all their "don't campaign on the listserv" stuff?!
It was not on the list serve. It is a Dave Thomas dose of slime. I am surprised the law school is okay with this.
How is the fundraiser a "dose of slime"? I'm not a Boyd grad so am I missing some juicy gossip?
Using the name of the law school for a judicial race is desperate.
I haven't seen anything about this. But if true, I agree kinda annoying, and as the Boyd alumni base gets bigger there will probably be more and more alums wanting to do something similar. That said, I don't see how this would be a "dose of slime" and can't really fault anyone for using all the resources in the community that they can.
Because the Law School has taken a firm stance on not allowing alumni who are running for office or have friends who are running for office use the alumni listserve, and by association the alumni foundation, as a platform for campaigning.
1:20, I agree. Sit back, this campaign cycle is going to get interesting. Judicial candidates true colors are going to be exposed.
Do some reading, there is some interesting stuff on the NSC race, seat C.
Where did you see the announcement for this BSL fundraiser?
Email.
Where do we do the reading for NSC, seat C?
See what the candidates are doing. Go on the social media pages.
It's still high school. You have to be part of the cool kids. She just lost my support.
