Write to opposing counsel and see if they will extend the deadline. I’ve had people miss deadlines before and ask for an extension after the fact. Not a big deal, but I also don’t get off on making litigation unnecessarily difficult

If your adversary won't give you one, the court probably will. These days courts are pretty forgiving IMO. If your adversary gives you trouble mention that you plan to ask for court intervention if they won't consent. Nobody wants the court thinking "I'm dealing with this because the other lawyer is being a jerk."

Depends if it's federal or state imo. State: dun matter. Fed: cry.

Email OC right away. I disagree w/ Associate 3, at least with respect to certain things. For instance, FRCP 26(f) sets a default deadline for the parties to M&C no later than X days before an initial case management conference is to be held pursuant to Rule 16, but the content of that M&C discussion gets filed in a joint discovery plan and proposed order that is due after than the M&C deadline but before the Rule 16 conference. If you miss the M&C deadline and do it a couple days later — but before the joint discovery plan is due —, no one will ask or know about the date of the M&C (when judges provide an outline for the joint disco plan in a standing order, that outline may ask whether you M&C’d, but I’ve never seen one that asks when you did so). In other words, as long as you aren’t too late, there should be no consequences.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
