For paralegals? Not sure. Associates are understaffed and overworked from what I’ve heard. I think that’s partially because litigation is not what Ropes is known for and they staff for the “normal” times that are not as busy and just grin and bear it when it’s busy. Problem is I think they’ve been fairly busy the past few years and associates are getting burnt out.

My idea was to slip a tile sheet that is wall behind the tv stand as a back, but I need the tile cut to the specific heigh and width of the tv stand. Does anyone know where I can take this tile sheet to get cut to the specific measurements?
