I like coverage litigation. It's more academic than other kinds of litigation though, which to me is a selling point. There are a lot of pure questions of law.

I’m a mentor for a summer associate who I believe could be a great lawyer here (V100, small market if that matters).

Would you ever recommend to your firm that he be given a course to catch up? Should I try and get him training on my own? Stay out of it? I dont want to overstep but believe this would help him as this puts him way behind his peers
