I thought I should surface long enough to break the long silence here on the blog. As you may know, I finished my gig as a law clerk for a federal judge back in August, and in September I returned to my position as an associate at [BIG LAW FIRM]. The difference in intensity between the two jobs has been astonishing. I had forgotten just how fast-paced litigation in a big law firm can be. I am glad to be back at the firm, however, despite the added stress and longer hours. Stockholm Syndrome, perhaps.
I have obviously had trouble finding time to blog; indeed, it’s been hard finding time for just about anything besides work. However, now that I’ve gotten settled back in at the firm, I hope to be able to start writing here again, and I plan on writing a few posts on what it means to be a junior associate at a large law firm and how to do it well. Stay tuned!

Weak excuse! Don’t worry. After you get used to the pace, you’ll be a lot more efficient. I had a friend come work at our litigation boutique from another firm, and he was drowning for the first month or two. As I was when I started here. Now that I am completely comfortable with everything I do, I get it done in such an efficient manner that I can do other on-line things.
