Not really. Less common than you’d think. A normal line partner isn’t particularly “senior” for board consideration. Very senior retiring partners maybe. Our partners can only serve on non-profit boards - which is very common.

Interesting, thank you

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
