What’s ridiculous about pre-OCI, and even OCI, is that it doesn’t matter how well someone does overall in law school; it’s basically just about their LSAT score and their connections to someone in the T14. T6 students get big law automatically, if they want it — so once they are…

Why do people still find attorneys on Google or billboards? I’m sure startups have tried to build proper directories. Why hasn’t it worked?
The Bill Belichick story is yet another reminder that you need equity — not just a job. Absolute legend — but still at the mercy of his employers. If the reports last week are true, Kraft did him dirty to Arthur Blank. He served Kraft for twenty years, brought him six Super…
Should one take out $120,000 in student loans to attend a respectable but non-T14 law school? My friend recently accepted a 50% scholarship offer to a non-T-14 NY law school. He still needs to take out $120,000 in student loans and asked me for my thoughts. He was very casual…

Nothing like building enough credibility (and confidence) to respond to a question from a Partner: “I don’t know….lets ask the tax guy.”
I love work-from-home policies. I hate RTO policies. But this week I realized that I’m much happier when I go into the office — on a flexible basis. Solitude after a while becomes challenging.
The issue with AI and the legal world is that AI will make lawyers more efficient but not wealthier. Since we live and die by the billable hour, AI will, theoretically, decrease lawyers' earnings (at least in the short term). The way the legal business is set up, too much…
A close friend just got waitlisted at my former law school and asked if I could help. He was shocked and confused because he has the numbers. "Sure," I said. "Send me your resume, and I’ll send it to a professor I really respect." “But what about my personal statement — it’s…
I don’t hear enough complaining about nepotism quotas. I’m currently getting crushed because of a nepotism hire.
If a deal is good enough, you don’t want investors.

@RobertFreundLaw @ItsMattsLaw One time I had to review a senior partner’s time and I literally laughed out loud. It was like “8.2. Strategize on case.”
The attorney with the most billable hours should have to wear a dunce cap and be paraded around the village square
We are to believe that in 2020, there was an associate who kept an 88-billiable-hour/week pace for the entire year?
Capital Gains: You’ve worked, paid taxes on the wages, chosen to delay gratification by investing the post-tax money (stimulating the economy/risking losing the money). Then when it works out, the government wants to tax you again at 44%? Encourage this; don’t punish it.
Build a personal brand. You’ll probably get fired. But by the time you do, you won’t need a job anymore.
@BigLawAttorney @jennyrozelle I’ve seen it happen. All my aunts came together.. against my dad 😂
@BigLawAttorney I agree 1L is way too early to know if someone will be a good lawyer, but this process apparently works as a very general matter for firms (and judges) that they keep doing it year after year. Might seem ridiculous to us, but they're the ones that decide if it works for them.
$1k/mo is the goal💚 June 1 is the deadline⏰ copybuddy.io is the product🦉 Step ☝️ Add a landing page and a paid plan of $10/mo. Step ✌️ Cold email 20,000 BDRs (using copy generated by copybuddy 😉). Only 0.5% need to convert. Enough talk. Let’s go!…
Been a plaintiffs lawyer for a week and I will never ever go back to billing
@BigLawAttorney If you’re pre OCI, it can be less than a semester of grades. One firm told me to apply when I had “one grade.”
@BigLawAttorney @Flibbityfloo Back in less rosey times (I did OCI in 2010), 1L grades absolutely mattered, even at Virginia. Top quarter likely meant 10+ callbacks and several offers. Much below median and it was a struggle to get BigLaw.
@BigLawAttorney Wait, what? OCI was all about 1L grades.
BigLaw recruiting becomes judicial clerkship recruiting. I don't know if there is a solution for the collective-action problem, but it's not great for the profession.
It’s my last Monday of working for a company that I don’t own. I’m grateful for the opportunity to try making money out of thin air. That’s what entrepreneurship is, right?
It's true. By year-end I'll have had a part in nearly $250mm of deals -- all came through DMs
If you’re active on this app, and your DMs aren’t open to anyone, it’s hard to overstate how much opportunity you’re leaving behind. But you’ll never know.
How do I know if a new lawyer I’m hiring is good? I don’t. So I overpay to check their work. I’ll have the new lawyer complete the bulk of their work and red lines. Then I pay a second lawyer I trust to review their work and advise. To limit my bill, I ask the second…
@BigLawAttorney Yeah. Very impressive guy though (extroverted + smart + hard working)
@BigLawAttorney As someone who makes their living marketing for attorneys the answer IMO: Lawyers are an emergency type service. You do not need one until you do. A majority of people do not know a lawyer who can help with their issue. Searching Google is the logical choice.
@BigLawAttorney I feel like your question is based on some false premises. For 15 years I’ve made a living doing the search marketing for about 50 or so of the types of Firms you’re describing. So I’m pretty familiar with the space. The question about ‘why Google’ I just don’t understand. To me…
