Break-checking is annoying, but break-checking in the far left lane is hypocrisy.

Associates in Big Law have two states of mind: 1. Outward projection: Everyone I work for is such a dick. 2. Inward projection: Did I really just say/do that? I’m such a dick.

One time, a partner tried to justify making us work two full weekends in a row by saying, “but look at how good of friends you’re becoming!”

So there’s one partner who insists he review all mail before it gets passed to associates handling the case...but he also lets mail sit untouched for 2 months. I just got an email from co-counsel asking when I planned to submit my reply to Pl’s MTD, due tomorrow. #itwasinthepile

When studying for the bar, everyone told me “quit social media/tv and study 12 hrs/day, or fail.” Daily, I slept until 11am, studied with Netflix, checked FB, and saw my SO frequently. I passed. Not bragging, just reminding all bar-takers that everyone’s balance is different.

I told the summers today that “this firm really is flexible, and you can take time for personal things, just get your work done on time,” and I actually might have meant it. Dammit, who snuck the koolaid into my coffee mug?

What’s more big law office inappropriate? Not wearing a blazer or drenching your entire white shirt in sweat. #askingforafriend

Partner: “I need you to do an analysis of this law and find the loophole for [what client needs].” Translation: “Look, there is a law that should prevent our client from doing this, but find that place where the drafters left out a comma so we can make this shit happen.”
