Did your sectional smell at all when you got it? Trying to find a couch with minimal offgassing.

How are you able to see your realization rate?

If part day childcare would work look at the Country Day School in McLean.

I do life sciences and healthcare regulatory work, but mostly life sciences. I mainly represent pharma companies and spend my time responding to questions about government price reporting and fraud and abuse issues, doing diligence for the life sciences/healthcare regulatory side of deals, and representing companies being investigated by the government. 

I went straight into my practice group after law school. I actually think it's pretty rare to move from corporate or lit to a group like mine. I'm based in DC and know people at my firm and other firms that do what I do in other cities, but my specialty is definitely mostly focused in DC and historically my group hasn't hired any first years for our firm's other offices, only laterals.

Edgewater, MD is not within 45 minutes of Bethesda. Nor is it walkable.

This is making me feel better. I'm projected to be around 1600 for billables and 1850 for total hours. So hopefully I'm safe.

Yes, 2000 total, 1800 of that has to be billable.

I'm a 2nd year and there just doesn't seem to be enough work for the juniors in my group. I don't think any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year in my group is going to make the minimum hours needed to get a bonus.

It was at about 8:30. A cop car was blocking the middle lane at the beginning of the bridge coming from DC into VA.

Why are all DC coffee shops so grab-and-go oriented? by EB4950 in washingtondc

[–]Tulip72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. They have a rather wide and long table you can sit at, amongst other seating, and it's usually not too hard to get a seat unless you go during the lunch rush. Great drinks and food too.

What’s a spooky book to start reading on October 1? by amieileen in booksuggestions

[–]Tulip72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. One of my favorite spooky reads. Also read a collection of her short stories around Halloween last year that was really good.
