I’m glad fashion trends are adjusting. TBH my biggest worry is shoes, which I haven’t worn since April. I know some judges who just might go with us on jean shorts but I doubt we’ll get there on bare feet.

What is the T-shirt with suit look? What kind of T-shirt? Tucked or untucked? Dress shoes or sneakers? I have so many questions why even wear a suit at that point? What occasions is this appropriate for?

My only dress code instruction was not to wear Jean shorts to court. So my bar sounds lower…

It did make me question a lot of things about the associate I replaced though.

Wait I’m kinda into this look and do it often. But I do think you have to have a certain vibe to pull it off.

Opinions welcomed:

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.
