Cont. I am just not sure if that is fair since I did doc review for so long and have a pay in line with a 3rd year. How should I be viewed/critiqued?
It may be unfair, but I think on a skillset-level most partners/supervisors are still probably going to have higher standards for you than a third-year, even if doc review isn't really that transferable to certain practice areas. I think I would try to maintain a positive attitude and try and go above and beyond in issue-spotting/flagging things early. I think because of the # of years you've been out of law school, partners probably expect you to have more initiative/ownership of matters than a standard third year.
Thank you. This sounds accurate. Most of my cases I can run on my own. Not all though. I appreciate the tips.
No longer in private practice but I did my time -- do you feel like you're being judged on your hard or soft skills? Eg, legal work or communication?
Mostly hard skills. Writing quality sometimes
