Anyone ever go to the media to try and half string a D into settling. Facts if media picks up will be extremely damaging to D’s business.

Ask yourself- would it be more damaging to the defendant’s reputation or yours? But based on entertaining that kind of move I can guess what your rep is…

Wouldn’t they possible double down at that point? Once the media is involved they might force trial.

^ this. Once you get something out in the media they will want the resolution on the record.

If you are asking the question like this you know the answer. The “help” you get is not worth the hit your reputation takes. 2 cents

I’d say you can do this ethically. If you know a journalist who is willing to write the story, they can do so without identifying you by name.

Lateraled 6 months ago and it’s not going well. I’ve gotten some positive feedback here and there, but I’m also been scolded a number of times and it’s pretty clear I’m not up to their expectations. We’re slammed with year end stuff right now and I’m working myself to the bone. They can’t afford to lose a body until the end of the month, but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re going to let me go once we make it through this sprint. Have you guys heard of firms doing this?

Any litigators who prefer litigating over clerking, or the other way around? I’m senior at a major appellant-side litigation firm. My boss has told me that there is a clerkship opening with a federal judge that I admire, and with his rec I would be a shoe-in. I like litigation and the opps it provides to drive change in the law, but this opp could open up some doors and give work life balance. On the other hand, I don’t know if clerking might be boring, or frustrating reading bad briefs. Thx!

It is common practice at my small firm by two main partners to fly through transactions for clients regardless of potential conflicts (for the company) or issues that may arise. It is often chaotic and has led to lawsuits being filed by investors against the clients. I know this is expected from time to time but I feel like I’m not getting the proper exposure to doing deals the right way. Would it be better at a larger firm or is this common anywhere? Mostly deal with microcap companies.
