i work at a litigation boutique. have written a couple MTDs and some miscellaneous briefs.

most of them come back heavily edited, or "how come you didn't address...."

oddly enough, I haven't gotten ANY doc review assignments. it's all legal research and writing thus far.

Protip: this often doesn't stop even when you're no longer a junior. People like to edit.

No, people like to bill. Editing is how you turn 75 billable hours of work into 150.

Believe me, people like to edit, too. For some it's a way to bill; for others, it's a way to prove you know better.

here's the secret for getting to write briefs early. glomp on to the new third year (coming off two year clerkship), slightly awkward superstar who is in high demand among partners for brief writing. They get overwhelmed, don't know anyone to pawn work off on, so will come to you.

Once I've worked with a lawyer, I can mimic his or her writing style and submit drafts where 80 to 90% of the draft is used in the final version

Yes and no. The more complex the issue the more likely they'll get heavily edited.

Also depends heavily on the partner. I've worked with some partners who go through a dozen drafts of a response to a motion to compel and a half dozen versions of responses to production requests.

Others make edits around the edges of your MSJ.
