4 of my partners have and all reported it was intense but very useful. They didn't do anything extra to prepare in advance

I’ve done it and found it so useful, especially the resources they give you for after. I didn’t do anything but read the materials. I would just say go into it prepared to ask bad questions, willing to learn, and willing embarrass yourself a little.

From my recollection, you do mini depos like throughout the day. Like I think it was almost like popcorn reading but popcorn depos if that makes sense.

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E.

Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.
