I personally believe, that U.S. Americans, mainly associates and midlevels and so forth, who are unable to do so, that is bill hours, because uh, some, people out there, in our nation don’t have legal work and uh…
I believe that our law firms like such as in South Africa,
and the Iraq, everywhere like such as…
and, I believe they should uh,
give more billable hours over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa,
and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.

Having escaped BigLaw for a busy in house job, I would say DO ALL YOUR CLE. Use your firm’s PLI subscription. Because things like free CLE are a perk of law firms.

Not really a comment. More of a request. Would you please recommend a business development course?

Revise your resume and develop your network and contacts. Get a head start on moving on. That is all.

I have done absolutely nothing productive with my down time. It has been glorious.

#20 – You are an idiot. A complete idiot. You spent more than 250 hours writing an article that NOBODY who will generate business will read. Have you EVER known anyone in practice to pay attention to a law review article?
You should have written an article for a local bar publication or trade group. At least then someone who may steer you business would read it.
I swear, the more I read some of the commenters on here, particularly on posts about hours and what people should be doing with their down time, the more I realize why I have a job and many of you don’t. I also realize that a huge percentage of East Coast BigLaw associates have their heads up their asses.
