I imagine that the money the firm makes from my billed hours ends up supporting pro-life causes. What should I do? Did I make a deal with the devil?
What do you think are my chances of getting a job at a New York firm like Wachtell or White and Case? Honestly.
I’d rather be flipping burgers and serving up McFlurries from the drive-thru than practicing law.
Is there a tiered system of document review, like going to law school or being on law review?
Does everybody lie about their CLE credits? Should I just do whatever everyone else does and lie about mine?
I toss or leave unanswered the letters that have one of three general attributes, sometimes all three simultaneously: boring, stupid, or fake.

Should I tell the partner I don’t like being referred to as his “second-tier project?” Will he still work with me? Will he ruin my reputation?
I generally don’t like off-color language in the office or even at home. Should I say something to him and risk being labeled the office prude?
The firm’s managing partner had a sit down with me. I suspect I’m now on the short list now for a layoff or I’m being closely watched. Probably both.
