More great advice from Mark Herrmann and Above the Law.

Here.

Juxtaposition of some workplace advice.

Two stories caught my eye today:  the Wall Street Journal article describing the new Goldman Sachs philosophy--that it's willing to let junior people leave the office between midnight and 7 a.m.-- and the Above the Law post by the wonderful Mark Herrman about four ways that associates tick their more senior colleagues off.  Lesson:  work smarter, not harder, but "harder" is in the eye of the beholder.

Thanks for the shout-out, Faculty Lounge and Bernie Burk!

We agree with Bernie Burk pretty much all of the time anyway (and not just because he's a friend), but it was extra nice to have our book mentioned in this post at The Faculty Lounge.

Some great tips on writing.

Really good electronic discovery request drafting advice from Above the Law.

Mark Herrmann is right (again).

See his latest post at Above the Law.  You should assume that you need to prove yourself to others.

A tremendous (and illustrated) "alternative career" story from Above the Law.

Here.  Hat tip to my buddy Kathleen Lyon.  The lesson:  if you don't like your life at a law firm, maybe you really should change careers.
