She has a sort of foul mouth (although one of the training attorneys over there is much worse) BUT she works hard. She handled all sentencing calendars (that's a 9 am and a 1:30 pm) for about six months when her staff shrank down to three per courtroom in two courtrooms. She then went down to doing all the sentencing calendars (again, two a day) for two courtrooms (so two weeks out of every four) for the last four months or so. Also, she had a caseload last summer (after a totally incompetent attorney left the office she felt too bad to make a "pit" attorney take over the ridiculous incompetence) and even ***GASP**** tried cases!<br /><br />There may be too many fat cats up top and there are definite morale problems, but I at least needed to stick up for Marie - b/c she is trying very hard to make sure her attorneys know that she appreciates what they do and that she is willing to pitch in and help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-58502165417743577582009-05-18T12:59:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:59:00.000-04:00The biggest critic of double dippers who retire th...The biggest critic of double dippers who retire through DROP has straw in his brain.<br /><br />Consider the lawyer employed by the United States who retired as an AUSA.

There are plenty of people who have run large offices that don't have a clue what they're doing. If you knew BB, you'd understand why his collecting ANY salary is an abuse. I saw BB in action during a legislative session when I was a prosecutor. He was unprepared, didn't know the law or understand the issues. I was embarassed for him.<br /><br />I watched that office deteriorate over a period of many years. They needed a new leader; it's still too early to judge Carlos (though I know him to be a hard worker and great guy and respect his loyalty to the man who gave him the opportunities he got, even though I think BB did a poor job).<br /><br />For whatever it's worth, I think you all should take it easy on him.

The only thing I ever hear anyone on this blog complain about is the possibility that the "old-timers" may have gotten raises where the young pit lawyers did not. <br /><br />I have no idea if that is true. What I do know, as a long-time and often opinionated observer of my former office, is that some of the younger pit lawyers did not deserve raises - in fact some of them needed a swift kick in the ass. <br /><br />Now, I say "some" with a definite purpose. Many of them are and were wonderful, dedicated attorneys eager to do a good job. But there were a decent number who simply had a chip on their shoulder, who held a certain sense of entitlement, and would actually do NOTHING to warrant any of it.<br /><br />For those members of the office, I say they should be thankful that I was not in charge of hiring / firing decisions. The office would be significantly thinner today. (And I am actually referring to all levels of attorneys.)<br /><br />It has never ceased to amaze me how people can convince themselves that they are entitled to certain positions, to a certain amount of respect or a certain reputation and NEVER do anything to earn it.<br /><br />For those of you who would fall into this category; whether you are a juvi, county, A, B, or C lawyer, please, take a long, hard look in the mirror. Before you start pontificating about what you think you are entitled to or aspire for bigger and better things, consider whether you have more to learn and whether you have really earned the things you are demanding to recieve.<br /><br />And trust me, you don't know hard work till you've left the loving confines of the REG.<br /><br />And Rory, I'd have a beverage with you any day. You're the hardest workin' man in show biz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
