I was in a client meeting and got grilled on three obscure FMLA hypotheticals like I was a human Google search. I felt like an idiot afterward for needing to double-check the regs. Do you ever feel like you’re not allowed to say, “I’ll look into it,” without sounding incompetent?

Hello, I’m an associate (almost at the one year mark) at a midsize firm on the EPL team. I did about 2 years of employment law as a clerk during school and know that’s what I want to go into. I’ve asked for more EPL work but keep catching PI cases. I second-chaired an employment trial but don’t see any EPL work for the foreseeable future and wasn’t getting as much EPL exposure as I wanted before the trial. Any advice on a lateral move to a bigger firm with a broader range of EPL work?

What is considered a “large” caseload in employment litigation? I work at a large L&E boutique law firm and handling about 14-15 active litigation cases in state/federal court or arbitration.

Not sure if that’s a typical caseload or not?
