Received a nasty email last night from a partner blaming me for a mistake that turned out not to have been my responsibility and was in fact her own oversight. I’ve learned she’s the kind of partner that tries to shift blame on to everyone but herself, especially on deals, and blames her juniors for the results of her own poor management and training skills. Accepted an offer this morning for $25k more than I make now with a firm that actually invests in its associates. Can’t wait to start.

Happy for you, that’s awesome!!! I cannot express enough how awful it is not having helpful understanding mentorship. I do not, and will never understand why firms don’t see the value in it. It would lead to much better work product and productivity it’s insane to me.

It’s amazing to me that it’s a running joke in the legal community that typos magically appear in pleadings the minute after they’re submitted, and yet associates are made to feel like shit when there’s the smallest of errors or mistakes in documents.

Friend and I who went to law school together want to go into practice together (specifically, COA/HOA collections); however, she is not licensed, yet. I am. She would be working the same as I, just unable to give advice, file, etc. (all the things that require a license). Our deal would be that upon her licensure, she would get a percentage ownership of the firm (probably 49-50%). However, I litigate, and would anticipate bringing on cases to the firm outside of just HOA/COA stuff. (Cont’d)…

I am an incoming associate (awaiting bar results). I have already begun working as a law clerk and am already being given plenty of tasks to fill my time, which I’m grateful for. I am also fortunate to be in working in an area of the law that is personally fulfilling to me, so a lot of the work I do doesn’t feel like work. Here’s the thing: I do my absolute best. I give polished, clean work, and I always give my personal best. However, it seems like a lot of the tasks I do always get sent back..
