I emailed back:

FUCK YOU. Do not contact me again.

And I cc-ed in my old boss and the managing partner. Like 20 minutes later my old boss sent back an email that apologized and said to ignore the prior email.

I can't say I feel sympathy for you.

and to which u spend a significant amount of time investigating by poring through ur old emails

Or the really great one:

"Do you recall why we didn't do Y?"

Or

"Did anyone check the dates on Z?"

Or

"When was the last time we ran a search for A?"

Or

"Have we been monitoring the underlying litigation/bankruptcy filings in matter B?"

Sit back in chair. Cold sweats subsidizing. Resolve to drink heavily after work.

(3 minutes later)

"I'm still not understanding. If you thought it was important at the time, why didn't you press for it? That's what I rely on you for. Please prepare an email to the client, for my review, explaining all of this. Thanls."

FUCK MY ASS,

Is this truly the life of BIGLAW?

I did this to outside counsel a few months ago. I was trying to figure out the timeline of a variety of agreements/amendments, and one K popped up with the name of a foreign affiliate with foreign law scattered throughout the doc (this was exclusively a domestic deal). Hit up outside counsel that prepared the docs to reconcile the discrepancy. Set up a call with my boss, partner, and associate that prepared the doc.

Call was no more than 10 mins, 5 of which was the partner apologizing for not reviewing the associate's work/mix up. Partner said that they'd do the work and write off the time to prepare a new agreement. Turns out the associate/partner fucked up and forgot to update the agreements to reflect the exclusion of our foreign affiliate. Don't know if the associate jumped or was tossed on the grenade. At the time the associate was a 1st year, so I can't imagine he was to blame.

Wasn't me.

"but your sig block is on half the motions"

Wasn't me.

"Here's an email string of 40 emails between you and the client"

Wasn't me.

I'm not saying shit till my lawyer gets here.

Picture this, I was stuck up shit's creek sitting on the 19th floor

How could I forget I referenced FINRA 15c3-3

Partner demanded I do it but he told the client it was me

Is this just a tranny thing? Don't think I ever had lingering issues like this in litigation. There were plenty of "oh shit" moments, but never months or years later. (Rolled out as a 5th year. Don't practice law anymore)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3239330&forum_id=2#30607850)

That was bad

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3239330&forum_id=2#30608053)

At the same time, it's an extremely relieving feeling to see shit go wrong and realize that it was not you or that it pre-dates your involvement on something.

I fucked up something pretty major as a 2nd year and I got called into the chair's office about it and he asked why I did X instead of Y. And I responded with the truth, "Uh, I've been practicing for like a year and a half, I had never done that before and I guess I fucked it up. Perhaps you guys should supervise me a little more until I become more competent." I stayed another 18 months and then bolted.

>He gave up and moved on.
