Nah dude just think about the friendly senior associate. He doesn't want u to be too busy during the week so he waits until Friday to give u assignments (always best to deliver bad news then)

Or how about the partner who makes u feel like ur all in it together when u have to stay late working on the deal w the really bad client. He's not in the office but hell def let u know he appreciates ur work

The life of a 3rd year:

Idle most of the day, but then:

4:30 p.m. email with assignment: "Reach out if you need anything. Know it's going to be a late night, but I really appreciate your work on this, and you've been impressing the client (and me) so far -- keep it up. Let's put our heads down and plow through this together."

Walk to partner's office at 5:15 p.m. to ask a question. You're feeling pretty good -- going to be a late night, but you'll order Seamless from the good Thai place, listen to some music, and it won't be so bad. You have to cancel that Match date, but you know her pics are 8 years old and she probably wasn't going to touch your penis anyway. Plus, tomorrow is Saturday and you can sleep in.

Partner's office is dark. "That mfer..." His secretary just looks at you and shrugs, then looks back down to her phone.

Go back to office, send an email instead with 3 questions at 5:30 p.m.

Sit there waiting for a reply.

9:15 p.m. reply from iPhone, right when your food arrived: "ok."

None of the 3 questions were yes/no, so wtf does that mean?

law schools exams should be changed to this if they want students to be "practic ready"

cr, but difficult when most of the professors never practiced or did 1 year at Gibson's appellate group if they did.

180 (would add the part where the third year spends 5:30 p.m. - 9:15 p.m. in his office writhing in the ecstasy of the law, fully immersed in its wonderpalace of precedent and procedure)

This is true in the sense that SOME will say "sorry man" after they give you an assignment at midnight that will take 3 hours and ask you to confirm you'll take the 8:30 AM status call in the conference room with the rest of the team.

most of the people in biglaw START OUT as decent people

after the first year, there's a steady erosion in decency

the decent senior associates/partners in biglaw, few as they are, must have started out as saints
