[quote=Anonymous]I am the poster who made the "zero typos" post. I was making light of the fact that biglaw lawyers (of whom I am one) obsess about every last typo. I think one should strive to avoid any and all typos and other minor mistakes. However, I really do not think that scouring a brief repeatedly, looking for misplaced commas or split infinitives (at several hundred dollars per hour) is a good use of a client's money. And my post was really a commentary on the fact that your average biglaw mid-level (or in plenty of cases, senior) associate doesn't really bring much more to the table than a keen ability to write a typo-less brief that conforms ever so well to Bluebook style. Obviously, this caused a guy who went to a top 20 law school to get really pissed off and tell everyone he went to a good school (then blame me for his doing that), which does not surprise me because, well, lawyers.
