Hi all. i'm writing a novel and my character is a new lawyer (it's a bit autobiographical)... BUT I have some questions I was hoping you all would help me with and I am hoping you will let me use some of it in my book.
First, she is contemplating an job offer to switch from litigation (where she just started) to transactional work (kinda... it's not that easy, but that's the simplified version of it) and I've never done any transactional work... so. What are somethings a first year transactional associate would do? What types of things (if you do transactional work) do you like about it... and what do you hate. Especially if what you hate is in any way funny.
Second, what kinds of things do you wish someone had told you before you went to lawschool, or during lawschool that would have better prepared you for the realities of the job... the job market... or the culture?
THANK YOU ALL!
