Just venting here but gawd! I applied for a job at a well respected law firm in my home town. Didn’t get the interview because a major partner in the firm had just died, so the firm was reevaluating its staffing needs (according to the HR email). Fine. I look up news reports about the guy who died and found out that he was this major conservative republican, federalist society, etc., etc. I would never have had a chance at that place! It’s like we've dialed back to 1992!

What should I be reading or researching? First gen lawyer here, always been small firm. I’m at a 2 attorney firm now and was just approached about becoming a partner. The boss wants to clean up the books so I can review them and we can discuss. Other than professional connections, I have no idea where to turn for info/insight. I’m definitely interested, but obviously this is a big decision, so I don’t think a “partner? Sure, I’m in” is appropriate.

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home.

Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.
