Workload & Competing Duties

“We have a Venn diagram here that we’re like this is what it means to be a supervising lawyer here so you’re a mentor and a teacher, you’re a lawyer, you’re a team member of a small non-profit and they are all intersecting right so you don’t just get to check in and check out that you’re a lawyer who works here, it’s like no they’re all these connecting pieces. 

We occasionally will have a student who’s maybe has a bit of a sense of entitlement or overconfidence, an unearned overconfidence I guess from my perspective, and sometimes they’re open to feedback and sometimes they are not. That can be challenging because it can take up time and you’re not necessarily getting anywhere.” (16)
