CLE is such a fucking scam. I'm trying to get 24 credits done in a week (oops). I bought one of those online packages -- all you have to do is leave it running very quietly in the background, because the videos pause when the code you need to demonstrate participation is given out. The one I'm watching now is about wellness for lawyers and literally included a guided meditation.

loool I'm in the same position as my last revive two years ago. Today's BS CLE was on how not to be stressed or some bullshit.

But the reason I actually revived was that I spent the last several days in brutal deposition preparations with a very meticulous partner who wanted his 90-page outline perfect. Anyone who knows me knows I (1) hate working in this way and (2) am terrified of making mistakes at work. In the middle of reviewing the outline I noted to the partner that there was a typo in the document number. He then said "We need to sit down and talk about this." My heart sank for about a full 30 seconds before I realized he was just reading the first line of the document we had come to in the outline.

No, I'm sorry. "We need to sit down and talk about this" is the name of my dog.

The guy defending the deposition I'm watching right now is the biggest schmuck.

He has repeatedly objected to "reading a document not admitted into evidence." Nothing is admitted into evidence, this is a deposition. He also keeps objecting to "hearsay" the second a document is introduced and before any statement from it has actually be referred to.

There’s definitely a feeling of “how long can I keep up this charade” to litigating from home in sweatpants.

The “LawTube” trend is excruciating but I’m fascinated by the people, mostly women in their 40s and 50s, that donate to these creeps. They are usually male personal injury lawyers in their 30s or 40s. It’s barely “true crime” and mostly consists of moaning about millennials, expungement, and bail reform.

“Thanks for the donation “PotteryMom,” “#JusticeForSally!”

I also don’t want people to confuse this with courts streaming their proceedings. I think that’s (conceptually) good and sometimes enjoy watching them. It’s just the “reaction” culture that I find really gross.
