Date: March 24th, 2014 3:23 PM Author: Buff pozpig i've never heard to anyone in biglaw refer to anything as a "file." lit people use "case," corporate people use "deal," and people also sometimes use "matter." how did the term "file" get to be shitlaw parlance?

Date: December 18th, 2025 4:51 AM Shitlawyers don't stay long enough at one firm to have any of those things, there's just a "file" that's handed down every time somebody quits, is disbarred, goes to prison, commits suicide, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2526126&forum_id=2Reputation#49518683) |
