Honestly, the only reason I knew how to handle it was I had run into ESGR before I went to law school - I won a law suit against someone who fired me the day after I told them I might have to deploy later in the year.

When it was the judge, I just redirected the question. When one of the staff did it (from a pre-printed list of questions the judge provided,) I pointed out that ESGR (a law) said it was illegal to discriminate on those grounds, and because the questions was worrisome, I wasn’t going to answer it directly, so they…

Actually, I am. In three states, shocker!

Actually, in the state I was interviewing in, it was.

That was really what blew my mind. Especially because my school tends to attracts from the left spectrum, and some of the people writing those were passionate advocates for what I consider very good causes.

We are very proud of that, and work very hard to recruit the right kidn of person for that. My first day of orientation, my dean stood up and said “Don’t be a dick. We don’t recommend dicks, and Colorado attorneys won’t hire them.”

There’s a guy I’m really good friends with who was a year behind me, but transferred to…

While it doesn’t change the fact it’s STILL ILLEGAL to ask, they weren’t one year clerkship. Two were three year appointments, and one was a long term positions, where the turnover tended to be every 4-5 years. All three judges had multiple clerks in their chambers.

They also asked if I was planning on going back into…

CU was actually pretty cool - its very much a cooperative experience. I have friends who transferred in or out that expressed culture shock, compared to other school. When my class had two girls get pregnant during our 2L year, the class took up a collection and brought a rocking chair and decorated the nursing room.…

I was asked those questions in three separate clerkship interviews. They know it’s illegal. They also know there is virtually no recourse.

So I went to CU Law, and this has been a big debate among my classmates, and the people in the class right behind us.

My class had him for things besides ethics, and overall, our response has been along the lines of “He’s a Slytherin, but in there because he’s Machiavellian, not because, you know, he believes the…

I know Maryland football boned that a couple years ago.

None of those are actually under DOD direction though. None of them are even actually affiliated with the military.

Your phrasing is really weird in that first sentance. You know there is one academy for each service, right? They aren’t “across the country,” (unless you meant the Air Force one too?) Army is in NY, and Navy is at Annapolis. You make it sound like there are multiples of each.

I freaking hate my team. Like, hey, its racist, but as long as i don’t give them any money, and only call them by their city, I’m okay. And we developed a QB, but we don’t want to pay him, so we are going to play Russian roulette with the draft; I’m okay. Still doing okay.... but let’s fuck with the only person we’ve…

They are just sent there. I worked a case of a guy who was brought here from Honduras at three and deported for a DUI at 41. He didn’t even speak the language. His wife and daughters stayed in the US because it was physically unsafe for them to be there.

I doubt it, you seem to know the laws better than most of my refs! - but seriously, maybe, but probably not. I moved here after playing for the glendale/boulder teams for a while, and I haven’t taken my girls up into NY yet. Looking at a move to NY, though, and will probably switch to reffing.

Ah, but I coach women’s rugby - so by the time we get that far, we will have all been locked up for breeding purposes at our father’s whim, and womens rugby will be banned because it forces women to show their legs off and be aggressive.

The kids I coach were SO revved up about this last night. They wanted to know how we could do this in the fall (15s season). I had to remind them that we play Penn State and Kutztown, and we can try it, but we are going to get killed anyway.

On a related note: I grew up in DC and went to Maryland, so when someone says they went to “The U” I hear “of Miami.” I now live in Scranton, Pa, where the U means University of Scranton, and they all think it’s weird when I mention Miami.

Which basically means the people they are cleansing shouldn’t fight back, right?
