Best Experience at the Firm
"Great seats at Dodgers games. I got to go once, when I was a summer associate. I was supposed to go again, a few months ago, but a client emergency came up. Well, it wasn't an emergency, but they told us it was. And so I couldn't go. It was a good game. The firm's seats are great."
Worst Experience at the Firm
"Sometimes it gets a little frustrating to spend all weekend reading through stacks of documents. But you turn on the MLB.com TV feed of the Dodgers game and you can almost imagine you're in the firm's seats instead of at your desk, cheering for Jeff Kent to hit a home run instead of looking for an e-mail written by the CFO of some stupid company about the money he's embezzling from the firm."
Advice to Law Students
"Definitely go somewhere cool after the Bar Exam, because once you start your job at the Firm, you won't have any time to take any trips, not even little ones, like to the bathroom, except with permission, and they don't always give you permission."
