How long have you been practicing ID? I can’t see doing this for more than a couple of years. It’s too stressful and the hours are grueling. Am I just at the wrong firm?

I’ve been doing ID for 4 out of the 7 years I’ve been practicing. I gets easier once you figure out the art of billing. What’s your billable hour requirement ? ID is not for the typically lawyer and can get grueling if you’re at the wrong firm.

If you haven’t been practicing a long time, get out. ID is pretty bottom of the barrel for pay unless you have your own clients.

I am a fourth year attorney and am on track to be partner of a small but well established ID firm in 2-3 years. Our bread and butter is ID but I have the freedom to take on any matters I like.

I do not want to be doing ID forever but I really don’t know what comes next. What other similar but more advanced (and better paying) fields of defense litigation are out there? Is the next type of civil defense litigation just going out and being hired by private companies?

Currently work at an ID firm (2nd year) and realizing that litigation (arguing motions, taking depositions, etc) maybe not be for me. Anyone in a similar boat and successfully transitioned either to in house or corporate without having the requisite experience many jobs require?

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample.

Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard
