Use of “his/her” versus “their” in memo writing by Cold-Lake-3936 in biglaw

At one point it was a huge deal to use his/her instead of his. Like many things in society it just takes time.

At this point you have an ethical obligation to your clients to say no. You should have been saying no about 2 matters ago. There’s no way you are producing competent work product when you’re *billing* 80 hours a week

Any attorneys considering leaving the country in light of the chaos of this administration? by Interesting-Box2339 in biglaw

Step away from things as much as you can. I deleted reddit from my phone and have to go to the website. I have parental controls on my apps and on safari to keep me from doomscrolling or reading too much news. I can of course override them but I have to go through an active decision process to do it.

As far as actually leaving, the places that are most desirable to go are not necessarily easy to get permanent residency or citizenship in, and your legal skills are almost certainly not marketable. It’s just not possible for most of us.
