Ethics. Legal mal I’m prepared for and documented everything to hell. But ethics? Who knows what the state bar will do or what they’ll root around find and cherry pick. Even if you didn’t violate the rules you can still get tagged with a warning on your file.

Ethics for sure. Especially in this era where the bar is trying to make up for failure to investigate prior complaints…

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

I have a good belief to believe I, and others of my kind are being systemically discriminated against at work. There was a particular incident recently that affected me.

Obviously outside counsel would need to be hired, and a wall put up. Looking for info thanks.
