Does anyone else feel the need to agree with counsel for other parties in cases where there are dozens of parties? Or when there are many attorneys attending a deposition, the need to limit your questions to make time for everyone? I’m young and it seems like I feel that pressure more than other senior attorneys in cases, and I wonder if I should adopt their mindset. I just want to also look reasonable amongst other local lawyers and not pompous or unnecessarily combative.

Hi everyone, realizing my career may be incompatible with my needs at home (I have a school age child with special needs). Any moms/dads find any companies or jobs in the UX field that are part time? I am wondering if it’s possible to stay in this field or if I need to take a step back and figure out something new. What has worked for any of the working moms/dads out there. I need to be free from 2pm onwards.

I went out on 2 dates with this guy who is 35 and I am 31. I am attracted to him, like him, and looking for a future with him. I was thinking ahead that if we go ahead and have kids, they would be 10 when he is nearing 50. It somehow bothers me, does it bother anyone else or am I just being an ageist? I know there are many women who prefer older men but I haven’t ever been in that category so this is super new to me. Would like a response from someone who’s views changed in this area with time.

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

This is for all mothers or would be mothers out there..
Could be very wierd question but i am very much curious and stressed at the same time.. Some guidance would help.

How do you handle it when your kid can’t go to school/daycare? Daycare options in my area are extremely limited, and the one are in is pretty good. They are very strict about kids not being there when they are sick, which I appreciate and mostly agree with. Except that the rules are along the lines of if your kid has a temperature over 100, they cannot come in until they’ve been under 100 for 72 hours. According to every doctor I’ve spoke to, 100 isn’t even considered a fever. (See rest below)

As a manager of a restaurant, how is it best to address parents with screaming babies/children given that it is not a kid-encouraged establishment? The parents were oblivious to proper etiquette and other guests complained making the parents of the screaming baby wildly offended. How does management appease all parties? Or is it best to protect the masses?

Parenting question..my kid loves golf and swings his club daily after school. When his friend comes over, the friend tends to hit our house with golf balls. After being reprimanded a couple of times, the friend hit the house again and dented siding (again). I texted the mom asking to tell her kid not to hit golf balls at my house. It was a tactful message. Her response was..a. their house has many dents and she replaced her siding 3 times, and b. it was not on purpose. How would you respond back

I’ve been back from Mat Lave for 6 months and recently sat down to meet with my new Supervisor to discuss future opportunities for advancement and express that I’m hoping to have a salary review soon.

He told me he agreed I was undervalued when reviewing my comp and mentioned a few times now that my maternity leave was a factor in me being underpaid - what do I do I feel heartbroken and discouraged? I feel so stuck - I love my work but how can I feel ok every day knowing this?

What can legally be asked for maternity leave? My sister got a big packet of questions involving questions about her pregnancy, medications she’s on, etc., from her HR dept to be “approved” for leave. Feels wrong. I have not had to give them anything other than dates for my two leaves.

My partner and I are in strong stable careers with good incomes now. We have been dating for 4.5years-ish. The end game was to get engaged and married. We bought an engagement ring a few months back. I was assuming he would propose by May end but that hasn’t happened. I don’t want to force his hand but I’m also getting impatient & not quite understanding the delay. I just don’t want to waste any more time if its not happening.

I’m asking for a raise tomorrow and am super nervous about it. Send me good thoughts ladies!!! 🙏🏼

Recently found out a male attorney I manage makes significantly more than me. He has been licensed one less month than I. Any advice for how to approach my mgr? Small firm, so HR is not an option.

assigning attorney told me back in February that the partners decided *not* to staff me on a very time-intensive, annual deal this spring (which I worked on in 2021), so I could focus on new work that has come in which I am REALLY interested in. Therefore, I signed on to those new projects. Now, seems like he is trying to walk back on it and staff me on Deal A. I’m unbelievably stressed and idk even what to say to him. Now I’m committed to other stuff/partners and Deal A is SO much work.

Any insurance coverage attorneys here? I’m interested and want to learn more about what the day to day entails.

At what year were you: 1) allowed to have your own clients and/or 2) allowed to view invoices before they went out to clients? By viewing invoices, I mean, taught how to "bill" essentially.

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.

I am an insurance defense attorney. As part of the defense we go out to a lot of scene inspections that are dirty/messy (ie fire loss). The first time I wore business attire but soon realized that this was not practical. Therefore I’ve been wearing jeans to many of these scene inspections. However recently I’ve had a few of the (older male) attorneys make comments about not being professional. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you wear to a scene inspection?

Anyone here follow/have followed a “lazy keto” diet before? I’m not interested in counting macros/net carbs, but won’t have a problem sticking to a diet of the recommended foods and cutting out the “bad” foods. If you have experience doing something similar, I’d love to hear about it!
