The short answer to this blog post is no. The medium answer is “Ha ha, no.” The longer answer requires an explanation as to my strong opinion on why this is nonsense. There are tons of attorney awards out there. A lot of really amazing attorneys get them. And some really crappy ones do too. […]
It’s been about 24 years since I started working as a lawyer. My first job was with a mid-sized firm and they provided me with a lot of training. I had a mentor, a supervisor and was just a shadow for my first couple of months. They brought me along very slowly. I wasn’t in […]
