Date: March 1st, 2017 4:49 PM Author: Honey-headed garrison travel guidebook The idea of just having had to deal with all that shit of being an Of Counsel at some big firm in a non-specialty area for that entire time I've been gone seems so terrible, I almost shed a tear.

And the non-specialist of counsel billed a ton of hours. |

Usually in BIGLAW it's up or out so if you get no-breakfasted you're expected to leave. Sometimes though they want to keep you as their bitch so they make you "of counsel". |
