When I have a big time suck get punted, I just contact partners I’m working for (or have worked for) and tell them I have capacity to take on new projects. It’s helpful to offer suggestions like “I know we don’t have x coming up for another month or so, but is there anything I can go ahead and knock out in preparation while I have extra time to devote to the file?,” “are there any issues in this case you want me to explore while I have extra time,” or “I had a trial get rescheduled, is there anything on your to-do list I could tackle?” Any inquiry like this usually gets me more bites than “I’m slow feed me work”
I agree with Associate 1. Contact your partners and tell them you have unanticipated bandwidth due to a continuance. You likely will not have the option of continued preparation on the trial, but if by chance your insurer will allow it, continuing getting your case prepared and “in the box”. It may also be a good time to get caught up on CLE before the end of year Cru has.
