We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Have you proven your ability in the law firm to be even called back, or you are just another monthly intern is the question.
We have had pretty smart interns who got called back, became paralegals and eventually got converted to Associates. Prove your ability and take your seat. Period.
Maybe if you improved your selection criteria and skills youd actually have smart people and maybe some day you'll be profitable enough to afford paying 5-10k a month.
Presence can be constructed by marketing tactics, whether it’s strong or not is debatable but can be inferred from their actions. If presence was strong in reality, they would have paid. The answer is hidden in the fact that the presence only seems to be strong, but they are not paying, so is it really strong?
