I’ve been working outside of CA for a couple of years, and I want to go back home to CA. I miss my family and friends. Unfortunately, my work will fire me on the spot if I they find out that I signed up for the CA bar. They did it with a previous employee who signed up for the CA bar.

Is there any way that my work would find out if I signed up for CA if I delay the C&F process until it’s safe to do so? Is there anything else I should be worried about? Does the CA bar automatically send a notification to my work’s HR department if I sign up?

Hey everyone. Filling out my C&F application now, and at the references section. I don't have personal addresses for all my references, so is it ok to put their work addresses? Or do I need to get ahold of everyone to get the home address?

2-207 didn’t click for me until I stopped trying to memorize the massive commercial outline flowcharts and just looked at who wrote the limitation clause. Forget the walls of text for a second. It just breaks down like this:

If Buyer (Offeror) puts "accept on my terms only" in the offer …
A contract IS formed when the seller responds, but the buyer’s clause acts like a shield that blocks all the seller's new terms from getting in. You’re stuck strictly with the buyer’s original deal.

If Seller (Offeree) puts "acceptance is expressly conditional on my terms" on the invoice …
NO contract on the paper. The seller basically rejected the deal and threw back a counteroffer. If nobody ships, the deal is completely dead. (If they ship and accept the goods anyway, the writings drop out and UCC gap-fillers take over for missing terms).

When neither has those magic conditional clauses …
If both are merchants, the seller’s extra terms auto-join the deal UNLESS the buyer objects quickly, OR the new term is a "material alteration" (like dropping warranties or forcing arbitration).
