on this ranking for best places to practice law. Number 1 is Illinois:
Our top state for lawyers based on the six metrics we considered is Illinois. Lawyers in Illinois have had high earnings growth over the past five years resulting in high average incomes. Between 2014 and 2018, average annual earnings for lawyers rose 22.70%, bringing the 2018 mean income for a lawyer in Illinois to $152,980.
Re Florida:
Florida ranks third on two of our density measures, the number of lawyers per 1,000 employees and law offices as a percentage of total establishments. In 2018, there were 5.49 lawyers in Florida for every 1,000 workers, and in 2016, law offices made up 3.04% of total establishments in the state. In fact, Florida has the second-highest law office density of any state in our top 10, following only the District of Columbia.
Lawyers’ earnings growth in Florida lags behind eight of our other top-10 states. In 2014, the average annual income for lawyers was $122,020 and it grew to be $128,920 in 2018. While this is an increase of almost $7,000, in percentage terms it is only 5.65%, which falls below the average earnings growth across all states of 6.58%.
Kim Kardashian won't be practicing here as she is studying for California.
And studying hard:
In her interview with West, she opened up about how difficult it has been to be taken seriously as a student of law due to her wealth and celebrity.
“There is a misconception that I don’t actually have to study and that I’ve bought my way into getting a law degree – that’s absolutely not true,” she explained in an excerpt from the interview. “Being underestimated and over-delivering is my vibe.”
And we were all so looking forward to "Kardashian, Markus/Moss & Assoc" opening up.

ReplyDeleteNot out of our District, but its a doozie. From Judge Rosenbaum's dissent:
"We do not sentence people to be stabbed and beaten. But we might as well, if the Majority Opinion is correct.
ime and again, Mitchell Marbury pleaded with Warden Dewayne Estes and Officer Beverly Warren to be transferred to safety; he had witnessed abject lawlessness and unmitigated violence—even against the guards—in his less-than-seven months at St. Clair prison, and he had been warned by a friend that he was the target of an imminent attack. Estes ignored Marbury’s pleas. Warren was even worse: she gloated about Marbury’s predicament and told him to find a “shank”—a makeshift knife—to fend for himself. Just a few days later, an inmate blocked Marbury’s path. Then Marbury was repeatedly stabbed from behind. The attack left Marbury in the infirmary with a puncture wound to the base of his skull, multiple stab wounds to his shoulder area, a broken nose, and a gash two centimeters deep in his back.
Yet somehow, the Majority Opinion concludes that no reasonable juror could ever find that Estes and Warren were deliberately indifferent to a substantial risk of serious harm to Marbury. This misguided decision allows corrections officers, with impunity, to refuse to take any action whatsoever to protect a prisoner in the face of a known threat. Just as bad, today’s decision also gives corrections officers license to perpetuate prison violence by advising a prisoner who reports a threat that “get[ting]” a “shank” is his only protection option.
Lord of the Flies is supposed to be a work of fiction; it should not describe the environment in our prisons. Indeed, the Eighth Amendment strictly prohibits prison officials from allowing such treacherous environments to exist."
I notice the majority is unsigned. Gutless but not surprising.
ReplyDeleteIts got to be Branch. The panel was Rosenbaum, Branch, and a 5th Circuit Judge sitting by designation. Even if the the judge from the 5th wrote it, the fault lies with Branch. Its pretty disgusting.
