[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both lawyers; he's a BigLaw partner and I work for an NGO. Our oldest son is a baby lawyer (clerking now and next year too); [b]neither he nor any of his friends who are going to BigLaw expects to make partner. They see BigLaw as a training ground and a way to pay off their loans, which is exactly what it is now.[/b] Most of them are looking for work-life balance. So, if offered an oral argument opportunity, my guess is they would jump at it earlier in their careers, but be less inclined to do so as they get older and are more likely to be in relationships and to have children. [/quote] I'm OP and that's what me and my classmates thought at that stage--but because we thought partnership wasn't likely to be possible, not because we thought we would turn it down once we got there.
