Signed associate that had to learn the hard way. Luckily nothing that opposing counsel couldn’t see just letting partner know I’ll add oc’s signature and file to something but so embarrassing still

I once accidentally sent an email with draft discovery responses to our client and CC’ed opposing counsel instead of a second client rep. Fortunately the OC emailed me immediately that he was deleting it, and nothing major changed from the draft to the finalized responses. Still very embarrassing!

I just found out that I passed the 4th CPA exam!!! I want to reward myself with (among other things) a nicer laptop bag. I can barely close my car door while carrying a laptop bag, lunch, water bottle, coffee mug, etc. in to work every day. I want to splurge but not too much (probably not more than $200). Can anyone recommend a cute and VERY spacious bag? I’ve been too busy studying on top of everything else I have to do in life to keep track of what is “in.” Any suggestions?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
