Stress: depends on how good you are at it and whether or not you’re organized.
Experience can vary vastly with geographical area and clients.
Cons: can get repetitive and associates can cap their salary early (due to lower hourly rates). Volume can be overwhelming.
Pros: lots of experience and exposure. Associates typically get a more discretion to exercise judgment and do proceedings than in other areas. Cases move fast.

Would not change this for being a memo bitch (glorified law clerk).

Yes.

Here!

Pros and cons? And is it high stress?

Are there books to learn this area of law?

Cons: lots of firms are mills.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)
