[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HAHA I showed this thread to my BigLaw DH and he said it helps if you are a brilliant lawyer. Thames a bit less time to do the work. [/quote]

Not to be a dick, but this sounds a lot like what some over confident guy who doesn't get much work because he's not in demand would say. [/quote]

No, there's truth to this. I once worked for an absolutely brilliant partner who was incredibly fast and efficient. He could do work in half the time it took other people so he got a huge amount done in 9-5 hours and never worked at night. I watched him take a case in a somewhat esoteric subject area new to him, read up on it over the weekend, and correct the subject matter expert by Monday. Meanwhile I was still struggling through the first chapters defining what various economic terms meant, and while I don't claim to be the biggest brain out there, I am pretty smart and usually pick things up quickly. But nothing like this guy. He was legitimately brilliant.

For the rest of us who are merely smart and work hard, the work takes time. Time is what you don't have once you have kids.[/quote]

Okay but I'm gotten 50 emails since 6 pm so I don't think working at night is because I'm not smart enough. [/quote]
