AM200 currently at 60 but this week got busier than it’d been. Hoping to hit 90 by months end...

Why is your non billable so high?

AM100, Bankruptcy. Currently at 130, will hit at least 170/180. Was slow for first couple weeks of the month and now billing 10+ hours a day.

AM200, Litigation. Currently at 147 and will likely hit 180+, still very busy.

Midsize, litigation. Currently at 128 & expect to hit 170+ since this weekend and next week will be busy.

Tell me your secrets....

V10, Cap Mkts. Will probably come in a hair above 150.

Sounds about right.

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts.

Side note - it speaks volume when multiple associates are trying to lateral at the same time
