Quick note on nice people
I'm running around today but I want to post here because I'm afraid a break will derail me.
I'm trying to sell some electronics and some people express interest and flake out. It's frustrating. It takes time and energy and I end up rejecting serious offers in light of the less serious ones.
My sister and I commiserate often about how "people suck".
But they don't.
Today I sat down and interviewed someone for a freelance "as told to" first person piece. It doesn't well and it's not for a famous news site. But she did it BECAUSE SHE WAS NICE. What a concept! I'm so touched! We sat for 20 minutes then moved to another room because a meeting was starting. Which she was missing. JUST TO TALK TO ME.
This person was just helping someone starting out in their career. She didn't have to help me. Heck, she met me over coffee 2 months ago to offer advice. But she did anyways.
She gave me 90 minutes of her time and missed an important pitch meeting to do so.
Gotta go. Meeting the guy who started NY Legal Aid Group.
TL:DR Many people suck. Most people don't.

* NYLAG offers mentoring support on most cases we refer to pro bono attorneys, which includes provision of training materials and sample documents, as well as direct consultation with a NYLAG attorney and review of document drafts. If no mentoring is available, this will be stated clearly in a matter description.
* NYLAG is required to report the number of hours spent on client matters by our pro bono attorneys, so we ask attorneys who accept client referrals to keep track of their time on cases as well as the amount of any costs incurred on matters. NYLAG requests reports on hours and costs from our pro bono attorneys on an annual basis, shortly after the end of each fiscal year (June 30th).
* NYLAG’s malpractice insurance policy only extends to volunteer attorneys who work directly under NYLAG’s supervision on matters in which NYLAG itself has been retained as counsel. Therefore, pro bono attorneys who accept case referrals are responsible for their own malpractice insurance.
* NYLAG provides CLE credit for pro bono service (1 credit per 2 hours of service, up to 10 credits per biennial reporting cycle). To obtain credit, please contact NYLAG to obtain the necessary forms.
