We still doing those?

When did 8:00 o clock become early? I always had 8:00 am classes in college and law school. And as an attorney, I am routinely in criminal court for arraignments at 7:30 am. Which means I’m at the courthouse earlier than that.

Wish I could be like that. I'm a night owl. I never took a class before noon if I could help it. I literally wake up to alarms, turn them off, then fall back asleep and don't even remember doing so

There’s no practical difference other than taxes, but do you think there’s a prestige difference between being “partner” versus “shareholder” or “member” at a law firm?

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.
