I definitely don’t have it here. Working 50-60 hours a week because they don’t staff appropriately. Basically expected to check email nights, weekends and holidays. Ready for a move to get a better balance.

Balance for me means that while work may encroach on my ‘personal time’, my personal life is allowed to encroach on ‘work time’.

It also means that I’m able to maintain a relationship, use all of my vacation time, and pursue hobbies.

SCW 1. This is unacceptable, do you have a PM that can help you out? Or your CD? I’m sorry you’re in this position, but even as freelance this dynamic is a problem. Ask for some help with deliverables, you should be able to lean on your team.

@cd2 Unfortunately they’re both the two main problems. One keeps adding me to new briefs and the other has us on our 9th round of ideas (and this is pre client presentation). They are, not surprisingly, understaffed. I’m just hoping to get what I can from this experience and move on.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol
