Dear 1L, A lawyer-colleague I’ve come to know has started a series.
She describes the entire civil-litigation discovery process, step-by-step. It is fantastic.
If you have any inclination toward litigation, her posts should be a great resource for you. They also are helpful for new associates.
I am forwarding the third in the series, but all are very much worth reading.

That’s right: Baby John Woods Hamann (DOB May 9, 2022) was cooking the entire, wild ride.

Dear 1L, I was having a tough weekend. Then this mysterious package arrived. Exquisitely wrapped with care. It brought me such joy.
It is hard on moms when babies leave the nest. At least, it has been so for me, this Mother’s Day weekend, with all three now off on their own.
Thank you, Heather Harrington,
for brightening my grey.
It was rainy and dreary here,
but you made my day.
