Heritage Foundation, AEI, Federalist Society etc. How do you feel working in firms knowing we work closely with individuals and attorneys who are members of these organizations?

This is the same question as if you ask me how do I feel about living in a country more than 50% of people here vote for Trump.

I think it matters more of how these individuals and attorneys are as a person vs their membership.

A2 it’s not helpful to immediately go to the extreme. I wouldn’t want anyone to write me off just because I’m a radical feminist thinking I just “hate all men.”

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

Someone on LinkedIn expressed disappointment about the lack of diversity from the big law firms in TX that were posting pics of their summer associates. A managing partner commented that he thought the post might be about a pic he posted (12/14 SAs were white). He tried to defend this by saying that they had LGBT and socioeconomic diversity. The fact that he recognized that his pic might be part of the problem says it all. Law firms need to do better. Sorry, I just wanted to rant.

Anyone feel like your job sees you as "one of the good ones?"
