How do I deal with or answer a junior person that whenever I ask a question the response is she sent an email about it, and she lately enjoys saying this during larger team calls? What gives? I could be involved in something else or heads down, but her MO appears to be to make it look like I chronically am not reading or tracking emails.

Her response may be annoying and come off as impertinent. Yet, in fairness, she might be giving you a perfectly good answer. If you're asking about things that have already been put in writing, there's nothing wrong with her citing that. At least that's the way I see it.

Would you accept this answer if it was somebody of your tenure? Or are you only glitching about it because it’s a woman? You’re already aware of it yet you still haven’t gone to go look at the emails that she sent before you ask a question.

I would honestly just try checking my email first before I een go to this person with questions. That way when you go to her you can say you already checked your email and couldn't find the information. If she still won't help you, I would go to someone above her.

There’s also a potential problem that the pertinent information may not be getting to the correct person or people. I find that when a newer employee is using that I sent it in an email. I’m not on the email mentioned. You might want to consider before meetings that you know that person will be attending is go through your emails and make sure you haven’t missed anything or make a note of what they have sent. If you know for sure you did not get that email and it’s not in your spam folder, mention that it’s best to get with her them after the meeting to cover the information. Best thing to do though is make sure you do not bring emotions into this. Keep it analytical.

My firm typically does insurance defense, but we take plaintiffs cases here and there. Is it typical that work done by associates on contingency cases isn’t counted toward their billable hour requirements unless and until we receive our fee on the case? This is my first experience with this, but it’s hard for me to reach my hours as is, without spending time on non billable cases like this with no assurance that I’ll see billable credit at the end.

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
