I started a new job a wk ago. I’m working w/ a Case Management System I’ve never used & rcv’d minimal training on. My attorney is very seasoned. He’s also quite condescending not only to me, but to my coworker as well. He told us both we were working too slow & we needed to get our shit together. On top of that I walked in to over a dozen files on which NOM to extend DED have to be filed by next Wed. Any suggestions?

Nobody is learning to be a pro at a job in one week. The atty is being unreasonable. But there is really not much you can do about it. Just keep chipping away and do your best.

Welcome to the legal world! The attorney probably has no idea how to use the Case Management System, you’ll get the hang of it. As far as a dozen files with the weak deadline.,. that’s the job, you’ll find your flow and get the hang of it. If the attorney continues to be a complete jerk, put your six months or so in, get some experience and start looking for another job.

I am lead counsel on a case - we’re suing 3 businesses and my supervisor is a named incorporator of one of the businesses although he is not an officer. He is asking me to bring the file and meet with him about the progress of the case. I reminded him of the conflict and he stated that the conflict was resolved because he also has a claim against 1 of the companies that he recently filed separately. I don’t see how that resolved the conflict…and he’s fully pressuring me to meet. How to respond?
