Hey y'all, is anyone on here applying to the GA Bar? Need to get all my stuff together but I heard the process is an 8-month-long mess. True?
Quote from: "Legapp" Stands for "Legal Application" on July 12, 2008, 06:22:31 PMOkay, I have a very serious question. I just finished 8 weeks as a summer associate, and to be honest, I didn't enjoy it all that much. The events were stressful, and there was a lot of pressure to attend them (small summer class). I liked the work, and I liked the other members of my summer class. I felt like a lot of the attorneys were two-faced... for instance, I got positive feedback from someone on a project, and then I went to my midsummer review and that person had slammed me because I had asked for an hour extension. An HOUR. Another partner gave me a negative comment in my review because, when asked for an "update," I had sent an email instead of giving an oral report. WTF? How could I have known she wanted an oral report? Is it normal to get such nitpicky comments in reviews like this?Do I just not like Biglaw practice, or is it the firm? Oh, dear lord. Are you sure that they're not looking for these negative things because of some larger issue, which may be economic? These sound like excuses to sink your associate position.

That sounds like a firm culture problem.
