I've been at my company just a little over 8 months and I've got an issue with a colleague who is viewed as a respected resource. She's already had issues with freelancers that they've been fine to let go. She recently hired a new girl that's an exact copy & not someone who works above me. Started grilling me on her first week about my work and they've both been putting forth incorrect info for clients. I've told them they're flat out wrong. They don't listen. Do I let them fail or push to help?

If it were me, I’d briefly push to help… and if it’s met with pushback, let them fail.

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample. I dont have anything recent but provided what I had from last yr in a legal writing class, it was not enough for them. I became licensed this May so I dont have an array of motions to pick from. Then they asked for my undergrad transcript, at this point, I am now annoyed They are not Biglaw. Are they going overboard

This was incredible. Thanks to the Maip team and council for making this happen. Can’t wait to see you all soon.
