Hey guys, quick question: are codefendants allowed to attend the deposition of each other? I. E: can codefendant A attend the deposition of codefendant B? This is with each party represented by counsel.

I started my own practice, it feels like 40-50% biz development/ admin work. 30% practicing law and 10% coffee breaks. Anyone else? Mind you it’s a corporate practice so ALOT of calls that sometimes turn into nothing.

New college grad just started working FT and I’ve been reading this bowl for awhile and want to make sure my saving plan is on track/best way to prioritize.

1) 6 month emergency fund (target $10k which is more than I need, but I want the peace of mind)
2) Roth 401(k) up to employer match (6%)
3) Roth IRA ($500 monthly)
4) Brokerage account and 401(k)
Plan is to split extra cash between these to have better tax advantage from 401(k) but also have access to funds if needed from brokerage acct

When your new boss is someone who used to work for you...

I’m an IP associate (focused mainly on trademarks) in an AMLaw 200 firm (slightly below NY market pay) and I’m curious to know what IP groups (mainly trademark related practices) at V50 firms are like. My practice is relatively chill. No major fires to put out - steady and predictable 8-9 billable hours a day. I can generally not work on weekends. Am I at a unicorn shop or is this normal for Trademark practices?

Partners who promise clients EOD Friday deliverables are the bane of my existence. Stayed up til 2 to get a draft on partners desk first thing this morning and still haven’t heard anything.

Why are the expectations on billable hours so extreme on lawyers? Consulting, accounting and other comparable jobs, apart from investment bankers, are way below lawyers.

And it’s not that lawyers won’t make enough money if they work less - reduce hours by 10% and you’d still be making fortunes as a partner and a small fortune as an associate.

Do you talk about your bonus size with colleagues at large firms where bonuses vary?

As a junior associate, how do you find the healthy balance to take initiative in matters as opposed to wasting billable time on something the client won’t pay for or the partner might not actually want?

It's 2022. It's time to start gaslighting partners #staytoxic

Currently in big law employment lit department, but interested in potentially doing government-side work in the future. Is it common for attorneys to go from big law to the EEOC, state departments (like CA DFEH), or DOJ Civil division (employment)? Or is there usually a step in between (e.g. clerkship, plaintiff’s side work, etc.)? Thank you!

All through my time coming up through law school I had people talk about “make sure to befriend the paralegals,” “the paralegals know more than most attorneys,” etc. However, in my experience, paralegals and other support staff are pretty much useless for doing anything besides the very narrow house of tasks that they do every day. They push back on asking them to assist with anything else and are generally very unhelpful. Is the “helpful paralegal” meme just a myth or a memory from decades ago?

Let’s call out the scam now: return to the office policies are asking for more of your time for the exact same pay. Record billables over the year and a half have shown that associates are indefinitely more efficient working at home. If you want me to come to the office, lower your billable expectation or pay me more. Simple economics. We have leverage, let’s exert it here.

What is the main reason for staying at/lateraling to biglaw?

Is real estate still busy?

Hey all - first year associate here… I’ve met my hours requirement for this year (requirement is 1900 and am currently at around 2050 with billable hours - approx. 2160 with non billable admin hours) and I am just tired. Is it okay to just “disappear” during the holidays (thanksgiving week, week of Christmas) and let partners and senior associates know I am not available? At this point I don’t care about making more money - I just want to sleep, read a good trashy book, and cuddle with my dog.

While I do enjoy dressing more casually, does anyone else find that wearing a suit helped with the imposter syndrome?

After my clerkship ends in a couple months, I’ll be joining a biglaw firm as an associate, and it will be my first associate gig (went straight to clerking out of law school).

I’ve never worked with a paralegal before, so I’m hoping to learn the best ways to work with/utilize a paralegal. (I know it can be firm dependent)

Attorneys, how do your paralegals support you?

Paralegals, what types of tasks do you usually work with associates on, and how can an associate make your life easier?

Anyone have lasting brain fog from COVID (or other health problems)? How have you coped at work?

Do you think firms take into account amounts associates have expensed for lunches, dinners, Ubers, office supplies etc when making decisions about layoffs?
