[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all great litigators are big law alums. Big law doesn't mean skilled litigator... it can but great trial lawyers also come from small firms, can be sole practicioners, etc.[/quote] biglaw absolutely does not mean great/skilled litigator. i work at a big firm (not true biglaw, but a national "boutique" with several hundred lawyers) that has a reputation for giving younger associates substantive experience. many midlevels here have not taken a deposition or examined a witness (except in an unemployment hearing, which is a joke). i came here from working for a sole practitioner, and i got MUCH more experience working with him (that experience is the reason that i have been able to take on some responsibility). the "director of litigation" in my office has never tried a jury trial. i think maybe 2-3 of us has stepped into a courtroom in the last year (and only for bullshit motions hearings and scheduling conferences).
