Take it if you want trial experience.
They pay is shitty, and it's depressing to deal with so much abject poverty day in and day out. |

Two of my co-workers announced that they were leaving in a month to take jobs with law firms in the city.
Trial experience matters in litigation. If you want to chase commas all day, then being a Prosecutor is pointless. |

Date: May 26th, 2013 7:06 PM Author: electric stead stock car THe biggest difference is that cases will move slower on the civil side and you do far more writing, but other than that, the necessary skills are still the same.

If you stay in crimlaw for too long, then it becomes very hard to jump ship into other stuff. |

Date: May 26th, 2013 7:32 PM Author: Ungodly Main People Cruise Ship there is a bigger divide. idris doesn't know shit because hes only ever been a prosecutor. the fact is that most civil litigators will never actually go to trial, ever. even the ones that do will only do it once every 10 years are so. trial skills are not in demand anymore because trials never actually happen anymore.

Date: May 26th, 2013 7:40 PM Author: electric stead stock car Yes, because there's nothing that Prosecutors do that is applicable to civil litigation.
- arguing motions
- drafting briefs
- negotiating with opposing counsel for a mutual resolution
Go gas yourself in a car while listening to Adele.

Date: May 26th, 2013 7:44 PM Author: Ungodly Main People Cruise Ship I worked in a state prosecutors office. State prosecutors spend almost zero time drafting briefs, and when they do its pure boilerplate garbage, which is very useful for shitlaw -- so I agree that state prosecution is useful for shitlaw. "negotiating" with opposing counsel is also not at all useful in biglaw-style civil lit. neither is arguing motions based on almost no prep, where neither side wrote a brief, and if they did the judge didn't read it and just makes some horseshit decision based on his own ideas, which is what happens in state criminal court.
basically, state crim law is maybe somewhat transferrable to state civil practice because both are full of lawyers with hundreds of cases and no time for prep whose work is all bs. it is of ZERO utility for fed court. |

The fact that you backpedaled and moved the goalposts back after I pointed out transferable skills?
Please, eat shit and die slow. |
