[quote=Anonymous]You read things. You dive deep into the minutia of whatever the issue is. You talk to people. Partners deal with the big picture legal strategy, associates implement it by taking to lower level people at the client, gathering facts and documents, then looking at whatever the issue is. I come from the defense side of things, so there are particular motions and filings that we are used to doing; same is true on the plaintiffs' side. This varies a bit depending on whether you're dealing with general litigation, an antitrust filing, patent issue, etc. Many variations. But generally it is a lot of reading, researching, talking and writing. [/quote]
