Date: January 20th, 2018 7:53 PM Author: Fighting motley parlor haunted graveyard Our firm has an express policy that you're only allowed to consume firm-provided alcohol in the office (e.g. attorney happy hours and other firm functions). Nevertheless, there is a partner on my floor with a bar cart with a variety of liquors, etc. I've never seen an associate or counsel do anything more than have an unopened bottle of wine on their desk from a xmas gift they haven't taken home yet.

They told my judge and everything, but he didn't care and I actually think it helped me with him long term.
But anyway, just so you know: there are apparently federal regs that prohibit the consumption of alcohol on premises. |

Date: January 21st, 2018 11:08 AM Author: Comical buck-toothed becky Pretty common for associates to have a bottle of scotch in the desk, usually broken out for a late night drink with fellow associates or a "chill" junior partner after finishing some big task (I'm a litigator, so usually filing a big brief at midnight or something like that). Don't know anyone with openly displayed alcohol though except for one older partner. Would be weird at my firm for a junior associate to have a bottle on the shelf like some kind of college dorm shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3865801&forum_id=2#35202283) |

Date: January 21st, 2018 11:11 AM Author: Ruddy filthy pisswyrm whorehouse Kept a bottle of bourbon on bookshelf as a mid-level associate.
