conf call w clients at 9:30am

i walk into his office at 9:30am for the call

he begins by yelling and saying i cant walk into his office at the exact time the call is supposed to start

then he asks me some q's abt the case which im supposed to be handling for him behind the scenes -- what are the damages, settlement value, worst case scenario, etc. i couldnt answer any of the q's.

he motherfucking railed on me.

Listen here you little faggot. Almost nobody is fucking pumped to go to work. It's not supposed to be interesting or fun. Those are called hobbies. Whatever faggy ass dreams of what you thought your career would be like were wrong because you're a dumb whiny bitch. The more money you make, the more bullshit you put up with.

Yeah, it probably wouldn't kill you to take pride in your work product a bit more.

You don't have to like the nature of your job, but you should still want to do it well.

I understand this sucks and all but when a case is just you + the partner, your job is to know everything that's going on before you walk into important meetings/calls like that, and more importantly to help your boss get up to speed beforehand. What did you expect him to do when the client asked obvious questions?

I don't even think "this sucks and all" really applies. Knowing what your case about is basically the easiest, most fundamental thing an associate needs to do. It's not hard. The OP just doesn't seem to give a shit.

I only say that because if I were like a first year associate who didn't know anything about anything, I might have made a similar mistake. Until you realize you're supposed to take ownership of a case, you're basically just bouncing from task to task so you can leave work as soon as possible.

If he were a 1st year, yeah. But didn't he say he got assigned to the case a year ago? I guess "we opened the case a year ago" is a little vague but I assumed he and the partner were the "we". If he's not a 1st year, there's no excuse. And I doubt a partner would "rail" on a 1st year like that.

Being on top of the case in that way is pretty easy, bro. Whether or not the partner is being unreasonable depends entirely on some context that wasn't included in the op, though--have you worked on this case enough that you ought to know all about it, did the partner tell you what was up with the call ahead of time, etc.?

OP--cop day Vyvanse and take a typing course if you don't type min 75 wpm. Credited bored lawyer strategy: it's less boring if you make it a race, and then go back later and check it for typos before you send it out. Seriously.

To Be Fair,

You should've gotten railed. You can't walk into a meeting RIGHT WHEN IT STARTS. What if there was something you and the P'ner had to discuss before the client got on the phone?

Plus, at the VERY LEAST you should've skimmed the file and written a short summary of the necessary facts so you could answer any questions or clear up any confusion.

the GOOD PD's are prepared when they step into court.

It's typically the shit-tastic or the old/readytoretire PD's that fuck everything up.

lol to u biglaw douches poasting above about how you can't believe he didn't know the case when he had a meeting on it!! he's probably some shitlaw faggot who has tons of cases. it isn't like biglaw where you are staffed on a couple of cases. this case might be some $50k shit matter. if so, it's not that bad to not know much about it.
