Question about IEP goals if anyone can help. If a student has an OT goal (say being able to zip coat or put on shoes without assistance) and the IEP says person responsible is the OT, is that all on them? I understand I could also work on it too in class but when IEP comes, they are responsible for writing the IEP portion and talking about that? Same with speech and language provider?

What do you think are some distinctive personality traits among people who are drawn to big law for the money, compared to people who seek out more creative, idealistic or caring jobs, like a writer, journalist, artist, doctor, nurse, public defender or plaintiff-side personal injury attorney?

Hi! Would anyone be willing to refer to for a role at baker botts?

Has anyone here gone part time? Do your colleagues respect you less? Do you feel better about the job? Do you have a life now???

What’s big law like in San Francisco? Anyone have any insights to firm cultures or billable targets?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Recommendations for places in NYC to get good quality staple work suits for men? I usually go to suit supply. (First year-friendly price range please)

Putting aside wachtell, what do we think are the best M&A shops for high value deals?

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

I haven’t done caselaw research since 1L and this isn’t even my practice… wtf do I do (I am fully utilized in my normal work and have a few deals closing soon…)

I keep making stupid minor mistakes at work lately presumely cause I’ve been so burnt out, and my senior is constantly mad at me, which made me want to avoid the dirty work even more… I really should care but is it bad that I don’t really care anymore

I’m a first-time prospective lateral likely to get an offer shortly. I just received a lateral questionnaire that requests billable hours, rates, fees collected, etc. for the last three years. Forgive my ignorance but is this normal/standard? Do people actually answer these honestly? One of the reasons I’m leaving my firm is there isn’t enough work in my group so of course my hours are low.

On the verge of leaving law but getting cold feet. Could someone talk with me? I feel like it’s just a matter of not getting good mentorship but I’m concerned my feelings might not change elsewhere. I just don’t know. I wish I could just have a mentor and guidance

What does commercial finance work (lender side) look like for a junior-mid level associate? Is it possible to lateral as an ECVC associate to this kind of work? Any transferable skills?

In-house comp at firms like KKR or Blackstone? Thx in advance.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

How do you handle the next day after being up until 4am the night before on a deal? My other deal teams don’t know I was up so late, but obviously I’m going to be much slower in the morning. It sounds whiny to say “sorry for the delay I was up all night” when everyone else is also so busy...
