“The client has authorized 3 hours of billable research and 1 billable hour for writing the memo, that should be MORE than sufficient to research the position of each circuit on this asinine issue that I thought of at 3AM this morning because I couldn’t sleep so I thought of ways to ruin your life instead!!!! Xoxo managing partner.”

peoples idea about how long it should take to write a research memo, vs their expectation of what a research memo should look like, are truly hilarious. I've got an endless one now (complicated tax issues); client isn't quite that precious (and supervising attorney isn't unreasonable), but the tradeoff in thoroughness and professionalism vs cost management is still a real struggle.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.

Thank you.
