How it feels having a standing desk at work 🧍♂️⚖️
Productive… but at what cost 😭

What I wish someone would have told me as a young lawyer just starting out:
1️⃣ If you are the most junior person on the meeting, YOU are the note taker
Bring a notepad and pen or your laptop and get the file note ready because it is your responsibility to document the conversation. Even if your boss doesn’t request a file note (or want to see it), having a contemporaneous record of the meeting will serve you in the future when working on the matter.
2️⃣ Get in the weeds of your matters
As a junior, you don’t always have autonomy over your work and you may start off working on ad hoc tasks as opposed to seeing matters through from start to finish. Regardless, if you are able to invest the time to understand how your work fits into the matter as a whole, you will become a valuable asset of the team. Think of yourself as the “go-to” person for the nitty gritty information that will not be at the top of everyone’s heads (eg court dates, evidence deadlines, client contacts).
3️⃣ Be proactive in seeking mentorship
Seek out senior colleagues whose work and conduct you deeply admire and wish to emulate, and lean on them for their advice and insight. I have sought the advice and friendship of senior associates in my team who I am constantly learning from and can be a soundboard when I need input from someone above my level.
4️⃣ Make friends at work
Once you are working full time, you likely are going to be spending more time with your colleagues than your friends, partner or family (so you may as well make it enjoyable). Surround yourself with colleagues who have common interests, set lunch dates, coffee catch ups - anything to alleviate the typical pressures and stressors of work. It can make coming into the office just that little bit more pleasant.

How it feels some days figuring out what Supreme Court decisions possibly mean and how they affect all of us #democracy #democracyforward #courts #lawyertok #lawtok #scotus
Karen Read hasn’t taken the stand—but she’s still testifying.
Not under oath—in interviews, soundbites, and courthouse mic drops.
She’s telling her story loud and clear.
The jury isn’t supposed to see any of it… but in a case this public? You never know.
Now, she’s addressing one of the biggest bombshells:
That infamous, misspelled Google search—“hos long to die in cold.”
Is this smart legal strategy—or will it backfire?

You SHOULD Ask Cops This! @lawbymike
For Question #1 my tip is to only ask for badge and name if you think the person is not a cop (like an undercover cop in street clothes). People asked: what if they say no you’re not detained and no you’re not free to go? Technically, they are detaining you if you can’t leave and I doubt this scenario would happen, but if it did, I would demand a lawyer because something shady is likely occurring and you’re better off arguing this in court then with the cops!
