This month's JD Jungle (one of those hip & irreverent magazines, except it's for law students, so it's kind of an oxymoron) has advice from a legal secretary who's seen 30 new classes of associates buzz through the firm.
Unfortunately, the article isn't online yet. I'll post it when it becomes available. [Post updated to include link.]
Law students should read it for the sage advice, including gems like "Don't Dip Your Quill in the Company Ink."
I'm glad the link is up. The article was fun and good advice.
But just law? This should be republished in Reader's Digest or some other mass-market outlet! The points work in any office, and most will work even if you are just starting out on a two-person trash-pickup truck.
