[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like there are two issues: your research and writing skills need to improve (which is to be expected for a new attorney), and your boss is at best disorganized and at worst a bad lawyer and crazy. You should start looking for another job, and also trust that with time, you will improve, at least for the research. The more you do, the better you get. To get better more quickly, take advantage of the free help offered by whatever research platform you're using -- Lexis or Westlaw, I assume. You can call their help line and their research experts will help you. If it's to be found, they usually find it. For writing, give up on the idea your boss will give concrete feedback. He won't. Instead, ask to see samples before you write something, either from the boss or from colleagues. Compare them to what you write and see what you can glean from that.[/quote]
