[quote=Anonymous]No biglaw firm is going to "pressure" first-years to take on tons of pro bono work in order to sabatoge those they want to wash out. That's crazy. My guess is she either said "yes" to too many different projects, or she is one of those people who just spends too much time on certain tasks (research, memo writing) that she needs to get more efficient at. Those type of inefficiencies have a tendency to pile up on pro bono cases, where no one is minding the meter in the same way as where there is a paying client. If you spend 30 hours doing a research assignment on a pro bono case, you may not get any pushback. If you do that on a billable matter, you'll probably get taken to task rather quickly. [/quote]
