Re: Ok I start my new job tomorrow

Thanks so much girls!!!

Deby: It's the same job, but now I'm an associate I was so nervous today. I feel like I have so much riding on my shoulders now. My bosses are really great though. So I'm very happy.

On a side note, do you know what MY ( ) first case is?? It's a guy who is suing his ex fiance for his ering back

I am like Jenn though I don't know what the job entails. Are you now the lawyer in charge of the case?

Re: Ok I start my new job tomorrow

Sorry, I used to be a legal assistant at this firm. But now I'm working as an attorney. I'm going to get my own cases/clients, my name is going to be on the letterhead, get my own business cards, etc.

ETA: Thank you

Oh thank you!! and an even bigger CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have made it!!!

How does it feel?

I remember (I dreamed of being a teacher since I was in elementary school) the first time I wrote my name on the board it was surreal!!!

Re: Ok I start my new job tomorrow

Thank you Jaime. It feels great, but I'm still nervous. I'm dealing with people lives here (not literally, you know what I mean), so I'm so scared of giving the wrong info or just messing something up. I guess what I'm feeling is normal. I just need some practice.

By the way, I'm not an 'official' attorney yet, I just took the NY and NJ bar exams in July and the results come out in November.

Congrats on a good 1st day! What kind of law are you practicing??? I just started sending out resumes today-I just don't feel emotionally ready to work yet-LOL!

Joanna: Thanks! :)
I saw people from school at Court today and they couldn't believe I was working already. Trust me, I'm not ready either. But we really need the money right now and the firm needs me b/c the other associate is leaving.

I'll be practicing mostly matrimonial/family law. The firm also does real estate, wills/trusts and some employment discrimination. But their main focus is on matrimonial issues (mostly contested divorces/child custody). So you could imagine some of the clients that we're dealing with.

Re: Ok I start my new job tomorrow

Oh that's great! I am trying to get into matrimonial also-there aren't too many jobs out there in that field. I interned at a mat firm all last year but they didn't have room for another attorney. I applied to one today, so maybe they'll call. (although I don't mind this unemployed situation!!!)

That's amazing you went to court already! I'm soooo scared of court!

Re: Ok I start my new job tomorrow

That's great Marcella!!!!!!!!! You are an official first-year associate! Don't forget- don't sign anything until you're sworn in! And get those Bar papers in ASAP so they can swear you in soon!
