I got that recommendation from an older male dean. He also advised me that a good way to get around the issue was to have a baby while in law school (!) to prove I could handle balancing a heavy workload and a family. My younger female career services counselor visibly bristled when I told her about his advice (she…

I had 10 large law-firm interviews back in August/September and not a single one asked me any questions about that (nor the roundabout questions designed to find out about my personal life without crossing those legal lines). I wore my wedding ring to all my interviews and am at an age where many of my peers are…

I haven’t read the SCOTUS ruling but I read the appellate decision for this case and I thought it was a bit more narrow than your legal team implied. Defendants already had the opportunity to address racism by jurors when they became aware of that racism during the trial (have their counsel and the judge question the…

Based on the quote in the article, it appears SCOTUS may wait until there are a couple more appellate decisions they can review with the full legal analysis before they take a case like this again. And if all the circuits are in agreement, I suspect they would be less likely to take this case or a similar one. This is…

I need someone to make a website/tumblr that combines Jean Ralphio quotes with Trump pics and vice versa. I am not creative enough to do this.

They can’t really shut it down unilaterally because Kesha has a contract with Kemosabe aka Dr. Luke’s company. Sony could assert informal pressure on Dr. Luke but they don’t have the legal right to intervene there.

I’m also an avid reader and was surprised when my now-husband told me early on that he doesn’t like to read. I see it now as one of those little aspects of privilege you don’t realize you have until you meet someone who doesn’t have it. He’s one of the smartest people I have ever met but has the equivalent of roughly…

I used to be one of those victim advocates who met victims at the hospital when they got their sexual assault forensic exams done. The most common times we had these call outs was Monday afternoons because teens get assaulted over the weekend and tell a teacher/principal/friend at school on Monday. While less evidence…

What’s weird is that I have experienced the opposite. I’m a millenial woman supporting Hillary and people tend to be dismissive of that as if I’m only supporting her because we both have vaginas. No. I’m supporting her because I’ve done my research and believe she is the better candidate for my values. I assume people…

I just starred and unstarred this just so I could star it again.

I think you meant “Playas Gon’ Play” by 3LW, not “No More”

I worked for a wedding venue and we got to choose if we were $, $$, etc. We were definitely a low-price venue for our area but the owner put us as $$ (or maybe $$$? I can’t remember anymore) because he didn’t want to attract “cheap” brides. So those dollar signs mean absolutely nothing.

I have to admit that when my partner and I are looking for new apartments, I prefer sometimes to do the first round of apartment visits alone (I am white and he is a person of color). I feel like we get more callbacks than if we do it the other way around. It might be in my head, but I suspect that it works similarly…

I work for a domestic abuse crisis center and frequently fill in at restraining order court for our legal advocate. Free to file for a RO but can be costly. If the defendant (your abuser) hires an attorney, it is best for you to hire an attorney as well so you don't get screwed over. You have to take off a full day of…

I graduated from Quinnipiac several years ago. They don't do the name card thing. We were organized alphabetically within our major and the president read each name from his master list. Your name is also printed in the program.
