How do you deal with the stress of opposing counsel who email you day after day, terrorizing you about discovery? You start developing a Pavlovian stress response to seeing notifications with their emails pop up.

Maybe just produce the documents?

Oh come on. I’m sure this person would just produce the documents if he or she could. This is not a helpful response and why people hate attorneys.

I second, produce the documents. In the alternative, send one really good meme calling them out for being annoying. Or two? Five maybe? They will get the hint eventually and actually file a proper motion.

Give them your deadline. “I will/should have a response for you by (this date).” Then ignore them til then. Not every email deserves a response.

Second year associate here who recently switched from litigation to corporate law. I am absolutely swamped while simultaneously having no idea what I’m doing ever and I’m feeling so burnt out. The partners are pretty great and feedback is constructive which I’m grateful for, but I’m so desperate for a compliment I’ve been saving any scrap of positivity in a folder 😭 it’s December 22 and I haven’t done my Christmas shopping because I don’t feel capable of thinking about it.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
