For those that are home grown (at least 2 levels) into the PPMD level, how has your relationship with juniors that you’ve been close to from the start evolved? Have you had to pull away from them (intentionally or not) or are you just as close? Is the saying “it’s lonely at the top” rung true for you?

I’m seeing prices for watches that used to depreciate heavily pre-2020 - but suddenly began to hold value because of the Rolex craze - tank like crazy. IWC, Panerai, Omega etc. you name it. Finally!!!!

I just saw that a Hubler watch given to Hitler sold at auction for $1.1 million. It is an interesting watch (despicable as the recipient of said watch was), but it got me thinking about a larger question: does anyone here collect watches owned by the famous (or infamous)?

How do I bill efficiently when my partner has literal meltdowns whenever there’s even a minor typo in my motions or letters. I’m terrified of minor misspellings when turning things in for his approval so will literally proofread things 3-4 times (doubling the time things take)

Hello. I am new to this bowl. Hope to collaborate and share ideas/info.

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?

Any advice for a judicial law clerk who is starting law career in ID this fall?

Is there a book or something I can read about first party property defense. Just started working at a firm and they basically threw me into the ocean to swim with no guidance whatsoever.

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. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

PO IP I MJ. No

I have another question - I’ll be going to a mid size ID firm that also does crim defense, family, environmental, and more. I get a bonus if I bring in business. How does that even happen?

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?

Should I get out of workers’ comp defense?

Hi, new here.

For those who like litigation, but not personal injury and premises liability claims, why areas are you feeling the most traction in while looking for lateral moves to other firms?

What does everyone think about workers comp defense? I just started at my new firm and seems ok but wondering whether I should make a career out of it. And would I be pigeonholed away from other areas of insurance defense?

Does Workers Comp Defense have a future?
