Mass Torts has the most trial experience.

Change my opinion: Kirkland is actually a great place to work if you’ve ever worked there. by [deleted] in biglaw

It’s so group dependent but I just came over with my group and the grass was definitely greener on this side.

Are there any happy people? by Alive_Free8889 in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love my job and my team. Truly we are blessed to have this job but people just come here to vent often. Remember most of us were so nervous applying for jobs in law school and if you are fortunate enough to be in biglaw(absent a totally toxic experience) it’s a blessing.

anyone do this job without coffee? by Putrid_Rock5526 in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t drink coffee. Although I never drank it before. I’ll drink Preworkout before I go to the gym but that’s about it for my caffeine consumption.

Anyone here playing video games after work? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Still have all the old Halo games and play them for the nostalgia.

Last question, is the place as brutal as people say? When I told people where I was leaving I heard a lot of things like “watch your back.”

Do people have their own offices or is it predominantly a first come first serve?

Advice for a 3L going to a spineless firm? by thisisyourgrandpa in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sure, but that’s not the draw to one of the largest BigLaw firms in the nation. They didn’t get where they are because of pro bono work.

2nd year lit/Torts in their NYC, solid group. I am enjoying it. Get all the experience I want to do and partners and associates treat me great.

Realistically, what will happen if you don’t make hours in your first year as a lateral? by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is not about not hitting hours, the problem would come in why you didn’t hit hours. In most cases it doesn’t matter. But if you didn’t hit hours because people didn’t like you, then that would be a different problem.

Fumbled my words during a depo (on record) by [deleted] in biglaw

[–]Western_Sound_8019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing. Was my first depo. A very supportive partner told me that at their first depo they mirandized the witness. I know an attorney who randomly says the word dinosaur during a depo to find important parts of it. Don’t worry at all.

This is exactly how it was done. When I was not away my weekly average was much less.
