...is that SUNLIGHT I see?

May 22, 2009 17:51

I've been living in the courtroom all week, when I haven't been back at the office, buried under paperwork for about three or four different trials. Despite all the busyness, we've hardly seen Jack lately. He's been flitting between campaign events and D.A. press conferences ( Read more... )

I think half the office would probably leave.

I don't know if I'd go into private practice, but it would be the best paying option.

There's always corporate law. You'd make a ton working for faceless companies.

ada_peluso May 23 2009, 03:25:16 UTC

BORING.

ada_rubirosa May 23 2009, 03:29:52 UTC

*eyeroll* Anyway, it doesn't matter, because Jack's going to win.

You'd really quit? I don't know but maybe you could adapt that "keep your enemies close" way of thinking?

I prefer my bosses to have some backbone and to actually live up to the principles they preach.

detalex_eames May 23 2009, 08:57:35 UTC

I wasn't saying that you didn't, or that I didn't for that matter. Was just offering up another way of thinking about it.

ada_rubirosa May 23 2009, 09:02:42 UTC

I know. *sigh* I've just seen firsthand the way that Governor Shalvoy's office works - he's self-serving - and Chappell's his guy. I don't think I want to work for anyone that politically dependent on someone.

Agreed on all points. Working white collar for the DA was bad enough, I can't imagine corporate law.

Although.... if Chappell wins, we could start our own practice. How does Rubirosa and Novak LLC sound to you? We could get a bunch of lackies and afford vacation homes in the Hamptons (or at least better apartments) and defend sleazy rich people.

Though I kind of like being an ADA. And my apartment. But it is a thought.

Jack already said he'd go with me. "McCoy & Rubirosa, no client too guilty!" is actually what he said. ...then, of course, I had to correct him. Rubirosa & McCoy. *grin*

adacasey_novak May 27 2009, 20:31:52 UTC

Ah damn. Well if you need lackies I'll be most likely job hunting. Will you pay me a little more than minimum wage to be a paralegal? Though with this economy I guess I can't be picky.

ada_rubirosa May 28 2009, 03:13:55 UTC

I'm sure we'd have room for junior associates. Or senior associates, even. *smirk*
