Thoughts on using a not yet filed substantive motion as a job app writing sample if the party-identifying information is redacted?

Context: I’m a junior who finally wrote a complete substantive motion. The partners made almost no edits. We’re planning to file soon, but haven’t yet because of meet and confers. I’m about to be applying for a few jobs and need a writing sample.

That is work product. Arguably could lead to waiver although unlikely. But why risk it?

No.

If you're going to file soon just wait

Thanks all. That’s what I figured, I’ll hold off. If I apply to the positions sooner then I’ll let them know I need to wait a week or so before providing the sample.

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere.

Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!

4PQE. UK. Have been offered a job at another firm but they've only agreed to match my salary. I went back asking for more and have been sternly told that's not possible as I'm already being offered more than what their bandings allow.

The new firm seems like it would be better for the sector I'm specialising in but anyone else I hear that moves tends to get a considerable payrise! I feel reluctant to move if I'm not getting a big pay jump... Is moving for the same pay a done thing?

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

Now that the craziness of 2021 is firmly in the mirror, what is your class year and when do you normally stop working at night, on average? For me 6 to 7 is the average. Have to wake up at 5 or 6 a.m. one or two days a week to make that happen though and it may not last through Q4..
