You asked for it and here it begins. The Magic Number survey. For those of you not familiar, go visit the old Wild Wild Law blog and you’ll see what we’re talking about. We want to know what first year associates at your firm are making, as well as their billable hour requirement. These two pieces of information combined give us the salary per billable hour (or Magic Number) that is sometimes used by naive associates trying to determine where to work. (Of course, you know better, don’t you….)
You can take our short survey by clicking here. You can take it multiple times if you have information about more than one firm. Do your best to be accurate. The great thing about this survey is that if we get conflicting information, we can just average it.
For those of you nervous about taking the survey, please know we value your privacy and anonymity. The survey results will tell us your answers, how long you took to answer the questions, and your IP address. We’re only going to disclose your answers. If you’re paranoid about your IP address disclosing too much about yourself, feel free to use an anonymizer or proxy server if you can figure that out.
Every person who is supporting Friedberg, I am not voting for, I am not doing business with. Goya lost my vote. Never referring cases to Sean Claggett, who gave him a campaign contribution. Friedberg is a scumbug, and he should not be elected dog catcher.
How do you check campaign contributions?
NV Secretary of State's website.
http://nvsos.gov/SOSCandidateServices/AnonymousAccess/CEFDSearchUU/Search.aspx#individual_search put int he candidates last name and voila, you learn that Jacob Hafter contributed $39,000 to his own campaign.
This is fun. If you find a contributor on a report, you can search all of their contributions and see who they're buying, I mean supporting.
The contributor Eglet & Eglet has contributed to Scotti, Ochoa, Tao, Miley, Smith, Wiese, Bare, Crockett, and Israel. The contributor Eglet Wall Christianson has contributed to Smith, Marcek, Miley, Escobar, Tao, and Earley. Make note. What are the odds that one of these names ends up being the judge when Eglet gets his next big verdict?
It is fun. You want to contribute to campaigns, then you have stand by your contributions.
Speech supression I say.
Wow, let us know how you really feel. Looking at the numbers, don't think Freidberg wins, so you're good.
So I understand the basis for disclosing who donated to a candidate and how much they donated, but does anyone else think this is a complete violation of a donor's privacy? I don't want people knowing who I gave to and how much I gave.
It just gives us poor attorneys a chance to complain when we lose against a firm/attorney who donated to the judge's campaign.
If you don't want people to know who you gave to or how much you gave, you should just refrain from donating. Since donations are speech, I'm unaware of any right to anonymous speech.
Seriously? Have you read the Federalist lately, or ever?
Nope. If you don't have the courage of your convictions, take your ball and go home.
If you don't like the fact that opposing counsel is contributing to a judicial candidate you can either a) contribute the same amount to the candidate b) contribute to the opposing candidate c) do nothing and hope for the d) become a political activist and change the law. If you do nothing no one wants to hear you cry about this issue every time you lose a hearing.
I loved Bill Horne's latest commercial where he has a woman in a blonde wig, creating hocus pocus.
Thank you for the laugh, and you have my vote. Good luck!
