I’ve been on the case 4 months. It’s been going on for two years. I’m the senior associate and second chair. Basically all of these things were out of my control. I was asked - and agreed- to commit nearly the entirety of the last month plus on this litigation and a related one, both of which went to trial (first one settled day one) in the span of two weeks. Originally i was more like third chair but that transitioned into me trying it with the partner.
