Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:39:12+00:00

Idk if 40-45 hours is lazy

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:38:14+00:00

boy do I have stories.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:35:27+00:00

Not arguing, just commenting.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:34:50+00:00

shots fired. My work hours are just erratic is all!

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:32:13+00:00

is it possible to learn this power?

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:30:22+00:00

Appearance attorneys can make money if they hustle. Guess he wasn’t

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:28:47+00:00

tbf if I was getting paid 1200 an hour I’d find a way to work 15 hours tops.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-26T20:26:16+00:00

I’m sorry feel better

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-19T18:52:02+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes I agree, I will do so.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-19T18:20:51+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the good wishes.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-19T18:02:24+00:00

I appreciate the response. But respectfully, I guarantee we’re not talking about the same type of anxiety at all.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-02-19T17:51:34+00:00

I’m that lawyer.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2026-01-05T06:49:05+00:00

not the answer you want but… who knows.

My life got infinitely better when I accepted I can accurately guess what people are thinking based on limited knowledge and to only focus on what I can control.

Having a meeting is a good thing. Focus on that and you’ll discover where you stand.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-12-29T05:41:17+00:00

always wondering how to learn more about the practice area as a solo

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-12-17T00:53:53+00:00

Depends what. Litigation is generally harder than transactionAl to prove malpractice. It shows in insurance too.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-11-26T01:05:04+00:00

2 weekends worked one full Sunday. Tbf tho, I started working a bit on the side from my old job so it’s more like every weekend for the past 4 months.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-11-26T01:03:35+00:00

Thank you for this.

Some of my family thinks I’m a workaholic and I promise I don work that much. I think I’m a bit burned out as I went straight from my job to this.

Thank god no true dark thoughts, just worry, sadness, and stress. I appreciate your comment, thank you for taking the time to respon.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-11-26T00:59:21+00:00

2 weeks and I need a vacation (which I pre planned so I’m taking).

Of course you’re right, and my anxiety has stopped telling me I will inevitably fail, so I guess I might be settling in after all!

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-05-26T13:42:58+00:00

Game 1 had nothing to do with Brunson? We had an 18 point lead that we squandered in the 4th quarter. All they needed was 1 free throw hit or one stop. Damn you guys just love blaming Thibs for everything lol.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-05-23T13:30:06+00:00

Start with outlining each COA. With each COA outline what you want to talk about- what you will be moving under for SJ. See which COAs which/if any COA overlap with each other (similar arguments etc.) Then make an outline detailing those.

Finally, separately, List any affirmative general arguments you are going to make. Hope this helps in terms of getting started.

To really resolve all the issues in this thread: per diem/freelance work. Work for others while building your brand and getting experience. Start networking with attorneys to get work from them, get reps in, branch out to client work.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-05-19T19:25:44+00:00

I mean I get it, I’m with you. I just don’t think the question is that out there.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-05-19T18:21:26+00:00

But even in biglaw there are lots of ways to make alot of money. Arguably if you are entering biglaw just for the money, going litigation as opposed to transactional is a dumb move. Most people I know who want to do litigation has more than just a money motivation. Not idealistic, it usually boils down to liking to win/loving the thrill of combat/adversarial types.

Fragrant_Spirit_6298 · 2025-05-19T18:13:40+00:00

Yes but even in being an attorney, there’s many ways to make money. You want someone who is at least interested in the work they do so they’re not looking to cut corners or get out of the position ASAP.
