[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that you say “real eDiscovery”  and thumb your nose at others is just one of the many examples of how the legal profession is a caste system. Partners and associates view you the same way. That bothers you so you abuse those you believe are lower than you. You probably didn’t go to a very good law school, you probably didn’t do well even if you did go to a “top school”. You are part of the problem why the legal profession is so toxic and why the people are so miserable with lots of addiction problems. [/quote]

No, I was actually attempting to clarify what ediscovery actually is because it's something that no one outside of law and many inside of it don't deal with or understand, same way my best friend explains that being an interior designer is not the same thing as being an interior decorator.  Heck, my parents can't explain my job after nearly two decades.  But it's not document review - OP asked for career advice and misidentified their skillset, I clarified in detail (because ediscovery is a popular option for nonpracticing attorneys).  I've worked in in the legal industry for 20 years, and I'm very familiar with the caste system as well as partner egos and the lawyer/non-lawyer dynamic of BigLaw.  Yet, despite this, I've built a career I really enjoy, get paid well, and like the people I work with.  Not sure why any of that should make me unhappy and out to get others.

I didn't go to law school at all, so your spurious assumptions are all wrong.  (I got a good look at BigLaw lawyer life and decided I liked what I did better.  I'd go if I won the lottery or had a rich relative to pay for it because I love school, but the ROI just isn't there.)  I mentioned this in a prior post, but, surprise, you'd rather attempt to insult me with the fiction you've created rather than demonstrate any reading comprehension skills.  Ironically, the insults are the classic toxic lawyer taunts - you didn't go to a top-tier school, you didn't graduate top of your class, the partner looks down their nose at you.  Looks like you're further down in the muck than I am.

I only bounced into this thread because I have tons of friends/coworkers with JDs who don't practice (including several that work for me) and thought I could help, but OP isn't looking for help.[/quote]
