Both, I suppose. I'm appointed by the courts and contracted by the state and receive a 1099. No government benefits, but no boss.

It's hourly, but there are very draconian ranges/limits. There are 24 different categories of work (client comms, opening brief, reading the gov's brief, etc), and each category has specific guidelines and ranges and caps. If I exceed the guidelines, I need to explain the need. And there are beancounters who scrutinize the claim. It's very annoying.

Rates are $130 but $140 for murder or sex cases. If Gavin signs the proposed budget, rates will go up by $25 on July 1st, but someone could easily cut our raise out of the budget and fuck us.

Sounds chill if all you have to do is research and file briefs with the occasional oral argument

It's very chill, except all the administrative bullshit is a headache.

Client comms are annoying --- scanning their letters, printing out my letters and filed briefs for them, putting them in envelopes and stamping them, writing letters to them explaining that their proposed issues are stupid.

And then the CA courts are stuck in the 80s. For all the talk of AI, half the courts are still sending out transcripts in paper form. Scanning in records is a colossal waste of time.

And then there's all the claims/billing crap.

All the other stuff is annoying. But the actual legal work is really 180

Yes, I pay the bull for sex with my wife.

But I've never paid to have my own sex.
