[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, it depends on your specific firm.  If it's not in the partnership agreement, then ASK SOMEONE AT YOUR FIRM.  That is the only way you will get the on point feedback you're so adament about recieving.

Gee, I wonder why female partners have a reputation for being clueless bitches?[/quote]

Stop being so hateful. And it is not just a simple matter of reading the partnership agreement or consulting hr - internal policy cannot trump the law.

Isn't this a LAWYER asking the initial question? So if it's not a matter of reading the partnership agreement or consulting HR, then the LAWYER asking the question to begin with should be able to do the research and figure out the answer -- or hire someone who can.

I think those of us who do not receive maternity leave are just tired of hearing over-paid partners whine about what they don't get despite all that they do. You BIGLAW partners aren't the only people working exhaustive hours; you're just getting compensated for them. Talk to, say, a trial attorney at the DoJ and perhaps you'll understand just how much greener the grass is on your side of the fence, even without three months of paid maternity leave.[/quote]
