I am a third year litigation associate at a small law firm. After two years at one of the largest firms in the city, I escaped to a saner and more rewarding environment. Although still relatively new to the legal profession, I have some experiences to share with those who are considering a legal career or are interested in the practice of law from the perspective of a fledgeling associate. I hope you will find my experiences and insights, such as they are, helpful and, if not, at least mildly entertaining. My posts reflect ONLY MY VIEWS AND NOT THE VIEWS OF MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, EMPLOYER OR ANYONE ELSE. They are not intended to be legal advice. I do not give legal advice. I am not your lawyer. Don't take anything I post as legal advice. Is that clear? No legal advice here - keep moving if you want legal advice.
