How should we go about fulfilling or minor and major writing credits? It addition, once we finish them, should we take the time to shop it out to prospective journals? Is it worth it if academia or clerking is not a goal?

Finding Opportunities to Collaborate

Line: 356 to 361
 If there is a reality, and a general perception, that a huge percentage of young associates will not be staying with a firm until they reach partner, how competitive is the workplace? Can anyone who is summer-ing at a big firm attest to this aspect of the experience? It seems like the cutthroat competition of law school (or at least of the characterization of law school) would not have to exist in such a setting, since it seems like a relatively small percentage of people are actually focused on making partner.

>		Often as a woman we are labeled as bitches (for being assertive) or weak for not standing up for ourselves. How can we effectively straddle this line as female associates?

Moving On from a Firm

Line: 485 to 493
 How long can someone survive at a firm if she does not want to become a partner but makes it obvious that she wants to pursue the "mommy track" instead? Do part time lawyers still work what would would be considered full time hours in any other field? Is it easier to balance work/family in the public sector? (AnaCorrea)

To piggy-back onto Ana's mommy track question--how can we, as female associates, go about having a family but making it clear that we do not want to be on the mommy-track and will continue to work just as hard (emergencies not withstanding) despite having children?
