I used to live in heels. Once I found the comfort of loafers I refuse to go back. It’s always a long day at the downtown LA courthouse and it’s a 9 floor bldg. I find that being comfortable makes me better as well

Yes I do. I've gotten used to wearing heels over the years so my feet hardly ever get tired in them anymore. I actually feel quite empowered wearing them in court and it makes me all the more confident in my case.

I don’t go to go every often since everything can be remote but when I do I wear flats

Hell NO! I like to use the stairs, and I am not going to put up with sore feet or take a chance of turning my ankle. Nice pumps (1” heels) do nicely. I also not gonna compete with the Laboutin crowd. No red leather soles for me- (husband sighs a big sigh of relief..)

Like those same brands, A3

i only wear them for trial.

M, what's your favorite shoe brand

Sometimes for trials.

Not anymore. I used to but I can't do it anymore. I need a shoe that is comfortable so my feet aren't screaming for days. I mostly wear flats these days.

It depends on the suit I’m wearing. Sometimes heels, sometimes flats.

Yes. It really puts together the whole outfit. In a way, it also feels empowering walking in heels.

Yup. It gives an extra boost of confidence. Plus, I'm short so it's a must for me.

I was offered a partnership at a small firm I used to work at before my current also small firm. We had come to terms and I expected to inform my current firm. To my surprise, my current firm made me a significant offer to stay. Not a partnership, but making more money and better benefits. I’m torn because the other firm is under the impression I’m coming in as a partner. But I can’t turn away from the significant offer I have from my current firm, where I enjoy working. Any advice/thoughts?

I need some words of wisdom from this esteemed bowl. I have been an associate for almost 2 years in civil litigation with my bread and butter being family and marital law.

I've been loved by all my clients and believe I have the charisma to attract new ones. It's not a matter of if I'll go solo but when. Any advice and/or potential pitfalls of going solo so soon?
