Leaving a decent firm only 6 months after lateraling. Had a bad depressive episode and realized it wasn’t the right fit due to poor WLB and decided I wanted to go in house. I am now inundated with interviews already but starting to feel guilty due to the partners at this firm making an effort to invest in me. Is this normal? Am I making a mistake? Anyone been there?

I have another opportunity that is important to me, so I'm planning to step away.

I have maybe 10-15 lit cases that I'm "responsible" for. Some of them are tar babies that I know the partners and my colleagues would hate taking over, but I don't think I'm willing to wait for resolution on them either. Thoughts?

Motions
I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol
