Lol u rlly want to ask LAW STUDENTS for legal advice? Most law students don’t know **** about ****.

But let me give you an analogy. U r supposed to clean ur room and u didn’t. Ur sibling catches u and tells u that u shd have done it, and if u don’t, ur sibling will tell ur parents, who will punish u. Do u need ur parents to enforce?

Only real downside I can see is precisely that the front load portion being a “bonus”, the firm is at liberty to claw it back when you decide to leave.

is the comp that bad, to be comparable to admin staff counterparts?

Without front load, ~5.5. Go work admin earn high 4 low 5. At most give you low 4. 1k diff you can swallow for the liability and stress you can swallow?

Distinctions in themselves don’t mean much, but it means something if you get enough distinctions to be ranked among the top 10. Same as for getting first class honours. It’s something you can put in your CV.

anyone felt disillusioned by the ethics of lawyers. not just the recent plagiarism case.

more of like seasoned lawyers I have seen engaging in questionable work practices. some even engaging in affairs even though they are respectively married, and being so gleeful about it even.

Wasn't referring to him. Worked in a relatively small firm compared to Drew.

And encountered a lawyer like this.

Guess it's common and rampant

What are some of the legendary batches? For example there was the famous jessup moot team comprising Davinder Singh, Chelva Rajah, Steven Chong and Jimmy Yim. Any other notable batches.

I had been an emotional support dog for a lawyer (she is my senior) in my firm. basically it is her trauma dumping on me for hours every week (ask me to listen to her personal problems, come to get her when she gets depressed over ridiculous relationship, stay back to comfort her) to the point I got fed up. this is out of my job scope.

after I left I gradually cut off contact and straightaway ghosted her. now I am having second thoughts -seniors with similar experiences - do you guys think it is the right move?

All in - meaning with bonus? Had impression it was about 17K/ month - so your number is 14 months worth, meaning 2 months bonus only?

Problem with local lawyers is they like to tell you their salary amounts which are frontloaded with bonus. $17k per month is actually front loaded bonus already.

If you don’t front load it, the base salary is more like $13-$14k per month.
