I am in a jurisdiction where clients are required to verify and sign pleadings, stating that they have firsthand knowledge of the facts and agree to what was written. I recently joined a firm where I have been instructed to copy and paste the client’s signature from the power of attorney form.

Am I overthinking this, or is this straight up fraud or malpractice? My alarm bells have been ringing, but I don’t want to give off hallway monitor vibes.

What is the process to take release from a project in Mphasis ?

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

What’s a decent “good client” to PITA client ratio? I think 9 to 1 is a bit optimistic but what are your thoughts?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

I was under the assumption that Nagarro is offering permanent work from home opportunity. During HR discussion when I asked about it, the HR said it is specific to projects and if the client is fine with your wfh you can take it. What's the scenario guys?

Hi everyone! In this field, when choosing a masters degree program is it more beneficial to get a degree in Human Resources to further my knowledge in HR (my undergraduate degree is in Economics) , an MBA, or Data Science Degree due to the fact that HR is becoming more data driven as well as get a PHR / SHRM-CP certification?

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

What is your understanding of the norms around whose names end up on a brief/complaint/motion papers etc.? I’m a midlevel at an AmLaw 20 firm and have twice been the principal drafter of something only to be cut from the signature block. The associate senior to me is on it despite having done far less of the work. And it’s not because it required a rewrite or something. The filed product is 80-90% my work. Am I wrong to be pissed off about this?

Junior associate here with very little work. I reached out to the assigning partner, but I haven’t heard back. I’m struggling to motivate myself to seek out more work by talking to other partners or coming up with ideas for articles and other non-billable work. Instead I find myself reading books, watching movies, and generally just kicking back and enjoying the free time. That said, I feel guilty that I’m not working a ton like I used to. I’m also worried that my lack of pro activity when it

First year associates: what training do you wish your firm would give you right now that you aren’t getting?

I'm in securities law and I'm joining a investment firms regulatory solutions group. Is that too compliance or do you think I'm still going to have enough prestige.

Third week of doc review. I’m going cross eyed and running out of steam. How do you keep up accuracy and reassure yourself when you realize you have the “I just drove home but I don’t remember it” feeling? Also because I’m WFH I keep delaying and procrastinating and it’s eating into my real life.

Which law school has the best professorship?

What is everyone’s: (1) billable hours this year; (2) practice group; (3) year; and (4) size of law firm?

Watching sports shows talk about "assault" after helmet gate is torture. It makes me regret going to law school.

Probably a foolish question: are bonuses based off of raw billable hours or billable hours modified by the partners?

It seems like most attorneys hate their jobs. Anyone here truly love their job? I would like to get an idea if there is a trend with level of happiness and type of law practice.

Top passive aggressive comments you’ve seen or received via e-mail? I’ll go first.

We are starting to prep a big case for a 3 week federal trial. I’ve been an attorney for a year now and my firm has had this case for a while.

I have been the main associate on the file but other attorneys have done stuff here and there.

Anyone else just not at all thriving in their career? 3 years in and I have a resume that's appropriate for a 9th year. I am not great at what i do. Definitely don't ever get feedback I'm good at what I do. Why am I even in this career.

I went on mutiple round interviews with a firm. HR basically said they wanted a firm commitment after the 3rd round. I told them I was extremely interested and looking forward to seeing what the offer was but I couldn't speak in absolutes.

Then ghosted.

What productivity hacks do you employ? I like to shut off my email for 25 min intervals to focus on real work. It’s like a sprint of focus without being “unavailable” too long.
