It’s still relevant if upped in public sector from the perspective of actually practising it. The concepts though apply across industry!

Did you go through the certification?

I made it. I really appreciated it

Been certified for 13 years. I have not seen a single organization use it like how it is meant to be. We in consulting do use it for our clients, when we can.

Agree it's of no benefit if no one looks for it or uses it

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any?

Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
