I’m sure OP isn’t willing to share. OP can you give a Vault or Amlaw range?
A few firms have delayed "to 2021" or "to January 2021 at the earliest." This might be what OP is referring to by "indefinitely."ChickenSalad wrote: ↑Fri Jul 03, 2020 12:49 pmI’m sure OP isn’t willing to share. OP can you give a Vault or Amlaw range?
I may be an optimist but, without knowing the firm or other details, I’d think that this may amount to a delayed start and the firm isn’t sure/hasn’t set a date to start.
Just outright axing the first year class at a big law firm before the start date is extreme. Granted, that your eligible for unemployment benefits seems strange
The firm’s letter may give some indication. Did the letter say anything else about re-evaluating or following up in the coming weeks or months?
Anyway, to answer your question, there should be a lot of guides online from NY agencies or private groups about applying for and receiving benefits. I’m not familiar with NY specifically but that may be quicker than trying to reach out to the unemployment office or another gov agency directly since they’re probably inundated with calls and emails in light of COVID
Can we please not start this shit again. There is no breach of contract.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 6:39 pmJust musing here. But if you signed a contract and there is a unilateral involuntary deferral, my instinct is that there is a breach of contract. I am not saying you should or could sue now, but that later on down the line assuming you start and don't last that long (2-3 years etc.) then you may, I guess, have a cause of action. Food for thought and happy for someone to tell me I'm wrong.
This. So tired of all of these always ending up with this argument.Sackboy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 05, 2020 7:19 pmCan we please not start this shit again.

Employment lawyer chiming in here to say no, theres no claim and its not a breach of contract.

He should sue his law school for breach of contract, for effectively charging him $400,000 and yet failing to teach him what a contract is.2013 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 11:48 amThis.

They should be outed because they abused anon.

Just kidding, I am the devil. So I ask, why would someone who is deferred from, say, September to January receive unemployment for the period prior to September (when they would not have been working and receiving money from the firm at that time anyway), instead of exclusively for September - January (where they did expect to be working)? Seems premature to me.
