Current bankruptcy clerk in a non-major market in the northeast. My term ends in April of next year and I’m starting to think about my next move.

I’m hoping to move back to Chicago and I was wondering if anyone in BL (Chicago or otherwise) have any insight into associate hiring in the next 8-12 months in RX/BK groups.

I have practiced law for several years and still struggle with the feast-or-famine nature of my practice. (Sudden rush of client outreach, many emergencies, then … nothing). A famine week might be 3-4 billable hours/day. My practice area does not have a predictable annual cycle, like “year end” or “tax day.” Any tips from other attorneys for how to recognize, predict, and/or even out these periods?

Is going in house at the present moment for a large oil & gas company not the best idea?

I have been reading posts from newer associates about bad things partners have done or said to them and I think it could be fun for some of us more senior lawyers in the bowl to tell stories of mean things partners did or said to us when we were new associates.

I’m a junior litigation associate at a small firm, and the managing partner says things like “you aren’t providing value to the firm” or “you’re being paid to avoid mistakes like these” when I make mistakes due to, what I believe, to be a lack of guidance and instruction. As in, they could be easily avoided with a “please keep in mind X” or something like that. Thoughts?

Anyone ever jump from transactional associate to Art. III clerkship?

Raise your hand if you have to work over the weekend (even though the juniors under you don’t have to)?! ✋

Looking for some summer reading material. Wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for books on litigation and or business/ money investments.

Does anyone “keep” emails and documents prepared over the weekend to send on Monday instead? I don’t want to be appear over-eager and nobody’s chasing me for these. I just try to do as much as I can over the weekend so that I’m not rushing for time on the weekdays. Am I weird?

Anyone else take the bar exam after practicing for a while? I took another state bar this past July and just remembered that I get my results tomorrow. Now I’m all distracted and worried I failed. Sometimes I really hate our profession 🙄

Had my annual review earlier today and I’m not happy with the raise and bonus offered. Aside from the managing partner, there were several other non-equity partners in the room and I didn’t feel comfortable negotiating in front of everyone. I’d rather speak to the managing partner alone as he’s the only one who has the ability to make decisions. I’ll have to wait until Monday to do it in-person but wondering if I should set up a call between now and Monday to discuss? Would Monday be too late?

Is anyone willing to share billable requirements and salaries for mid-sized, Chicago market?
