I’ve read a lot about staff attorneys and how little respect they command and how little they earn, despite the long hours they’re expected to put in.

Can you all elaborate on what that means? How much do staff attorneys make at big firms in mid-markets (Midwest), and what sort of hours are you expected to bill? Do you have to go to the office, or can you work remotely?

I’ve been a contract attorney the past few years and my contract is ending soon, so I’m exploring some options.

TIA

Its in Texas, and the initial BK filing was made about 23 months ago. TIA!

I’m so bad at writing the background/ facts section for briefs… it always gets heavily edited and no one is giving me constructive feedback other than “advocate more”. In contrast, my legal argument section is generally without edits. For context, first defense lit job post appellate clerkship. Is this normal?? Any tips for getting better other than “advocating more”?
