Tbh firm or client meals are positively boring these days. Can’t imagine what it was like getting buzzed or drunk at one.

Events are only as entertaining as the attendees.

My biggest disappointment in becoming a lawyer is the lack of drinking. I was told it was a major problem.

I host a weekly firm happy hour for anyone who is in and wants to drop by on Thursdays. Very well attended at the firm.

It is in appropriate to ask what the compensation for a position is after a first interview if they want you to go on three more and the interviewers on my first told me that was above their pay grade to tell me?????
