What kind of a cold email are you most likely to respond to? I generally tend to respond or atleast try to respond to all but I’d like to start filtering them if possible. I also wanna know as i am trying to make a lateral move and would rather send one which would garner a response. Thank you!

If you're trying to make a lateral move, a recruiter could be awfully helpful (keeping track of new openings, etc. is a full time job!) If you're getting a lot of obviously mass-emails that don't really speak to what you do, or what you want to do, I'd answer the phone, or call back the last recruiter who was pretty much on-point -- If they can't help, they should be able to refer you to someone who does what you need. If they are weird and pushy? Don't send a resume, and carry on the hunt! PM me with your market, I might have referrals for you.

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
