I’m in the process of interviewing for an associate position at biglaw. They sent me a form asking what my class year is with regards to my current position. My current position is at a law firm, but I’m a staff attorney and not an associate and I’ve never been classified by class year. Any idea what to fill in here?

They are asking for the class year you graduated law school. Put whatever the answer is and they will move you down in years if they think they need to, based on your current position.

Thanks. This is what I figured. It’s the “with regard to your current position” part that throws me off.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
