Well I know that, but I wanted to rub his nose in it, because I can be a jerk like that.
Too bad you are both wrong. I do not “gotta” do pro bono work, and the guy who sent around an email does not “cut my check.” And I didn’t agree to do pro bono work when I signed up for my firm. So, you two please each call the other an idiot until you come to agreement.
Jesus, do a couple of divorces from your local legal aid. I don’t think you have any obligation other than moral to help make sure that the law applies fairly and evenly to even the weak. But, really is it worthy of real vitriol? IAAL, and can say that for me it has been worth the time. YMMV.
So get off your lazy ass and start producing, or if you can’t hack it, start your own firm. It’s not your place to stand in the way of your employer’s requirements. It is your place to meet those requirements, and meet them smartly. If you ever hope to get to the top, you had best pick up your socks.
Good god no.
Rand’s pussy little whine here is an example of why libertarians who bleat about how charity should be removed from the government and left to private individuals are full of shit.
RR ought to at least appreciate your putting the issue in terms of pleasing one’s betters, rather than working for the public good. In fact, putting it that way, he might just click his heels and jump.
Oh dear god, Rand Rover, you’re such an ass.
At the moment, he is stomping his little hoofies in anger while he sucks at his employer’s tit for clients.
For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t take legal advice from Rand Rover, even for free. I’d be concerned that he’d fuck something up.
Wouldn’t the Randian solution be to quit, withdraw from society and let society collapse without you?
Wanna give that one a go or do what the senior partner is telling you to?
20 hours out of a year. Really?
There are roughly 8760 hours in a year.
You could do a single fucking drunken all-nighter in the law library and do that.
Unless you actually work somewhere where you have to to what your boss tells you to do.
Could someone who speaks Latin better than I remind Rand Rover what Pro bono means?
Given your prolific posting history in the past two years, forgive me for wondering if all this excuse about needing time with a two year old is just a load of crap.
Given your prolific posting of bullshit here, I will say: have fun with that ugly, retarded 2 year-old.
…
Really, that was too much.
I’ll help. Here you go.
If I believed he actually had a kid, I’d agree with you.
ETA: To Darth Nader.
Seconded.
