I dunno but just saw a blurb about new EEOC charges against companies offering abortion only travel. So yet another thing that’s gonna have to make the rounds before we know what to do. My suggestion has always been to give people a set travel amount and let them use it regardless of the medical issue.

All the partners at my firm are liberal so they all hate it

What firm are you at?

In my experience, work has been a lot like work before the ruling.

That’s good to know. Can I ask if you are male or female?

Also, which firm are you at? Thank you!

I had a summer associate tell me how excited he was about Dobbs on the day that it was handed down because I’m a generic looking white guy he assumed I was a FedSoc goon who would also be excited about the Supreme Court stripping away a right.

How are 1st year litigation associates dealing with WFH? I’ve been having terrible anxiety/panic attacks, and pretty sure my billables wont exceed 110 for April. I’ve been super stressed about it and don’t know how to move on to May with the proper mindset to make up for as much time missed as possible. CA courts are still closed, and I’m worried I won’t be able to exceed (or even meet) my May goal after April.
