Useful Law Networking Site and Jobboard

A friend referred me to recently launched website - www.bigbarrister.com.

It’s only for law professionals looking to network or find a job within the industry.

It’s been a good networking tool for me – so thought I’d pass along the recommendation to those of you who are looking for a position in law or wanting to expand your network.

First Day at a BigFirm

Tomorrow is my first day at an AMLAW 100 firm. I've been out five years, but up to this point I have only worked at smaller firms (12-20 attorneys). I'm simply looking for advice and/or tips on BigLaw firm culture from the associate perspective. Any words of wisdom any of you cocky mother fuckers can provide would be appreciated. Thanks you.

Skadden Arps

Skadden Arps treats their secretaries like second class citizens. The worst place to work.

Document management system?

Beware Facebook

I just saw this article and felt that the topic was worthy of notation for those you may have missed it.
As a proponent of social networking to generate business, I was not surprised to see this possible backlash for the legal community.

Greenberg Traurig Iissues

Explain something to me do all attorneys believe they can be above the law or do they all say it is their opinion? If a firm would allow an attorney like Greenberg Traurig to have such an awful opinion I don't care how much money they have. IF THEY WANT TO BE KNOWN AS THE FIRM WHO HAS ATTORNEYS WORKING FOR THEM THAT BELIEVES WHEN A CHILD IS SEXUALLY MOLESTED IT IS THE PARENTS FAULT BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO PROTECT THEM. FROM THE PARENTS WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THAT SHAME ON YOUR FIRM.
