Question from a first year associate. If you ask OC for a continuance without date, (to allow another third defendant time to file a motion so that all pending motions can be heard together) is it normal for OC say something like "I'm amenable to a continuance if we set a date, but I need permission from my client before I can agree to a continuance without date"?

Do attorneys typically consult with their clients everytime OC asks for a continuance?

Also, some attorneys want you to lay out your cards, and won’t agree to something open ended, so they put it on their client.

I think it really depends from client-to-client. Some clients want/need everything to go through them and others allow for more autonomy..so it’s just their relationship/prior conduct with such things that matter

Depends on continuance on hearing date or extension of filing deadline. For the former, usually would just let the client know whatever I did. For the latter, probably run it by the client first.

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.
