Shit. I knew it was coming.
She was kind of asking for it, though.
But, also . . . Littler Mendleson? She made it sound like she was at a much more prestigious firm.

you know, the fact that you've never heard of the firm reflects more on you than it does on the firm. but you do make a very good point... without stories of firm life, what the heck does she have?

I was right, she did fail:
"The night before the bar exam, my entire body was consumed with panicked frenzy (like every other bar examinee in the country). I proceeded to go to bed and throughout the night take anywhere from 15 to 20 pills in staggered intervals, desperate to get some sleep. The next morning found me throwing up bile and pools of dissolved medication, and I barely remember staggering through the test. I subsequently (and unsurprisingly) failed the bar."

No its def not!
Also, her bio and name is nowhere on the firm's web site so clearly she was either fired or resigned within the past 3-4 weeks (since IT personnel usually take a while to update a firm's web site).
She also passed the Feb 2005 NY bar exam, perhaps she failed the July 04 exam? Who knows.

She obviously has a very high opinion of herself. Getting into Dartmouth and UVA isn't hard, wtf.

Whats really interesting is that according to the firm web site and Martindale, there are only 5 associates in the NY office (all of them are female). With "O" there, the total would have been 6. There are about 9 partners.
Just from looking at the web site and the MH listing, it doesnt look like a very collegial environment. That "shareholder" arrangement sounds pretty fishy too (12,000 billable hours to become partner??).
The NALP link is just for Littler's New York City office, who knows how many summers were hired in other offices.

It was her attempt at addressing every day shit that happened at her firm.
She made it seem like a living hell which was the main novelty of the blog. I dunno
She can now pursue a career as a writer which will probably go nowhere but since she'll end up marrying a biglaw laywer to finance her lifestyle, she should be fine.

True. This is what bothers me about her:
'I went to a great undergrad with prestigious CT WASPS'
Translation: lower Ivy
'My law school requires profs to trace their lineage to the Mayflower to get tenure.'
Translation: lower top 10 government school
'Prestigious Manhattan law firm'
Non-Vault, sub-market TTT no one has heard of

Why does it matter? Does it have any bearing on whether her depiction of biglaw is true? I don't understand why people feel the need to belittle what school she went to or what firm she worked for. Do you think what she was saying was untrue?
Seems like no matter what school you went to, people that go to work for NY firms are going to be working like slaves.

"Why does it matter?"
Yes. She's a self-important bitch and doesn't have the qualifications to back it up. That's fucking annoying.
"Do you think what she was saying was untrue?"
Yes I do. She frequently exagerates and makes things up for the sake of the blog. Read her entry about throwing herself into a shark tank and slitting her wrists because a partner saw her leave early at 8 pm one night.
Finally, who wants to take biglaw advice from a life loser? She did shitty in law school. She likely did shitty at her firm too. Read the posts above where people are speculating that she might have failed the bar (as per martindale passage dates). She's mediocre at best and therefore has a tainted view of biglaw- her failures and fuckups are not universal problems experienced by everyone.

Point taken.
However, some of the things she said probably happen at a lot of firms. It seems like the leaving early thing is universal. I knew someone who called their elevator the shooting gallery because the elevator was made out of glass and when you left everybody would see you. If you left early, you would end up getting more work later.

1. This was indeed a voluntary outing.
>>Yes. She's a self-important bitch and doesn't have the qualifications to back it up. That's fucking annoying. <<
2. So she exaggerated a bit for effect! I don't understand why everyone must bash her, belittle her and now refer to her as "TTT". Obviously she struck a nerve with her blog and obviously we are all still reading.
The fact is, if you don't like her writing - don't read it! Simple as that! In my view, she may think highly of herself but you know what, don't ALL bloggers? Clearly, the point of a blog is to talk about yourself, your opinions, your view of life, etc. If anything, we are the ones in the peanut gallery eager to throw stones. But as a former blogger, I remember coming up with material and describing it eloquently wasn't an easy feat.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Yes, after reading "174's" posts and those of other bashers on this and other threads, I think they display ignorance and just a general lack of intelligence and awareness of the reality around them.
Its a shame that people get a joy from seeing other people be miserable. I think its great that "Opinionistas" has found her true calling. While parts of her blog were much too exaggerated, she had the guts to go against peer pressure and pursue her first love (writing) and that says more about her independence and desire to succeed than the rest of the biglaw schmucks/hopefuls/miserable law students/lawyers who spend years sitting behind their computers at work posting hateful messages on XOXO and other blogs/message boards... Envy and jealousy are such sad human traits.

the blog is tiresom. it's the standard frenetic/jokey sex in the city style, with the author constantly bemused by being the only fully sane person around. by for all its rebel pretense, it's careful never to have too much bite, which would be more likely to imperil a job, or alienate an editor who has decided it't time to publish some mediocrity and call it "brilliant."

This sums up my feelings about the blog perfectly. Cheers. (Your throwaway comment on the "classically female aversion" isn't entirely fair to that small minority of females who do occasionally make sharp observations or to that larger minority of females who have sharp observations to make but don't make them because other females won't appreciate them and they worry that males might think they're being "bitter.")
In any case, not having worked in private practice, I can't commment on "Opinionistas'" (possible to come up with a more obnoxious little name for oneself than "Wonkette?" Yes, indeed, it is.) take on law-firm life, but all her anecdotes about people and their personal shit (bulimia, child-rearing, the ever-present spectre of sexism blah blah blah) strike me as the kind of thing that would have been a take-or-leave at her prep school literary magazine. Two-dimensional and rife with juvenile indignance.

"classically female aversion"
the male analogue would be roughly its opposite: aggressive, jocular "ribbing." in either case, people who faithfully fulfill their gender's most insipid stereotypes are the bane of society

She's attractive, but like most women, she has an aura about her that seems to indicate that she overestimates her appearance. Then again, that could just be a bad picture of her.
She's a better writer than 50-75% of xoxo posters-- much better than Evan-2001, for example-- but she's not amazing. She could write a nonfiction book and she'd do fine, though sales have very little to do with writing talent, but I think fiction is out of her reach, at least for based on her blog.
