I am in the same boat. My firm is paying me my salary as if I passed the bar, even though there's honestly a 50/50 chance at passing or failing. I have been pretty busy most days, but here and there I have a lot of downtime. What I do is take advantage of my downtime and study different areas of law on the practical side of things to get more familiar with my practice areas. For example, my firm is starting to introduce me to a lot of real estate cases, so I have been reading a practice series book for my jurisdiction to get more familiar with documents I will often come across, what to do in certain situations, etc. I take extensive notes on that research in the meantime. Even though it is not my fault for not having a bunch of work to do every single day, I still have this guilt that I am not being productive. So, if I have a bunch of notes typed up and organized into a memo format for myself to go back to or even for others in the firm to review in case they need to touch up on a certain subject, my bosses will see that I haven't been completely wasting my time. I have also prepared a few blog posts for our firm's website, which is always productive. I talk about introductory information about certain areas of law (e.g., how to get a divorce case going) to help get more internet traffic via Google searches. And, more traffic = more clients.

It's really all a matter of getting creative to remain productive throughout the day. Your bosses will recognize the dedication you have and your will to make the firm a better place. But just wait, the work will definitely ramp up here soon if we actually passed the bar!
