  • Ethics, ethics, ethics..

    Yup, I’m knee deep in this ethics policy that we’re working on. Spending my days doing staff interviews, reading through details of example codes of conduct, workplace policies, employee handbooks, etc. Not much tech stuff to report on, so not much to say that pertains to the blog right now. I will say that I…

    An Important eDiscovery Lesson From Jon Gruden

    See Jon, even when the investigation has nothing to do with you, those comments you made in the email exist, and the guy you sent them to didn’t, or couldn’t, delete them. So even though they may have flown under the radar for all these years, all it took was one investigation or lawsuit to involve the other people on the email chain, and everything you said is now out there.

    You would think people would stop having to relearn this lesson every few years, but alas here we are.

  • Do I really have to go back to work again?

    Ugh, those 10PM arrivals into the airport really catch up with you at work the next morning, don’t they? Trip was a lot of fun, took some great pics, which you’ll probably get to see sometime later in the week. Obviously, we didn’t have time to download them or work with them in any way…

  • Linked – Female Expats on Why They Left Paul Weiss, Hogan, Paul Hastings

    The question I’ve always had though, is what exactly changed and when did it change? Because I can’t believe most women go to law school and graduate planning on working at a large law firm for a few years and then leaving to go solo, in-house, public sector, or teaching at law school, despite the fact that it happens a lot! Again, in my anecdotal experience, it happens much more often than it does for male associates.

    If we have a system that “works” for male lawyers this much more often than female or gender non-binary lawyers, maybe it’s not a good system.

    If you’re a female attorney who’s left a law firm and wants to share your experience and reasons, I’d love to hear about it and possibly write about it. (You can reach out to me privately if you’d like to remain anonymous.) I am truly curious about what it’s like to graduate law school versus the reality of law firm life a few years later, and what law firms could have done to keep you.
