Day in the Life of a 1st Year Associate [Big Law]

[@jamescollins2638]

Hey! Great videos! I’m about to start at big law in September and it’s great seeing people like you enjoying the big law life!

[@JackDuffley]

Congrats on landing the job! And thanks for watching!

[@Techcypherpunk]

I’m not even into law (mainly focusing on having a career in the Hedge Fund or Private Equity industry after graduating from university - if my startup fails) but I highly love watching these videos. Although, I convinced my sister to go into corporate law. Keep posting these videos, they’re very interesting!

[@JackDuffley]

Thank you - will do!!

[@JackDuffley]

Yes, I have developed a Domingo Ayala leg kick, which works for softball lol ⚾

[@peterk7788]

Lol I was going to comment that’s a NUTS leg kick, great video man

[@JackDuffley]

@@peterk7788 I was a toe tap guy in high school lol thanks!

[@peterk7788]

@@JackDuffley I suppose the leg kick helps with the timing in softball. I’m joining my law schools softball team in the fall so I may tinker around with my swing

[@JackDuffley]

@@peterk7788 plus it looks big tyne to have a monster leg kick

nice change of vids, love to see how WFH law is like.

[@JackDuffley]

Thank you!

[@FrancescaCadhit]

Great vlog! It shows what a productive, balanced day can look like. That homemade pizza and those snickerdoodles look delicious!

[@JackDuffley]

It's a bit imbalanced towards billables 😅 But thank you! The food that day was indeed very good

[@tmercari8807]

Great video! Super informative

[@JackDuffley]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@priceandpride]

Looking good man, stay healthy

[@JackDuffley]

Thanks!

[@hallowground5994]

Hi, thanks for the video! Quick question: Are most Big Law forms allowing work from home? Are you still working from home in June 2022? Thanks!

[@JackDuffley]

As far as I know, yes. Most seem to be doing a hybrid model (mine included) where you spend a few days per week in the office. Seems like it's going to stay that way indefinitely, though time will tell.

[@bingo2069]

What is your law specialty? Sounds like you’re living the dream as a lawyer!

[@JackDuffley]

Back when I was in big law, commercial real estate. Now that I have my own firm, it's broadened a bit to include some other matters, mostly in and around real estate. I try to stay in my lane and have my team help with things I'm unsure on.

[@AustinAOkay]

What’s your bills requirement

[@InvestingwithTom]

Get that man a cricket bat and bowling machine!! Also Mrs Duffley's snickerdoodles look great

[@JackDuffley]

I'd indeed hit all the 6s, every single one. And the cookies were most definitely fantastic Bet Tom didn't expect to be featured in this one 👀

[@InvestingwithTom]

@@JackDuffley I didn’t haha

[@franktaber]

I’ll be honest, I have no idea what a snicker doodle is. I refuse to Google it. I’ve survived 28 years without knowing.

[@JackDuffley]

@@franktaber I'll help - it's a cinnamon sugar cookie.

[@InvestingwithTom]

@@franktaber I had to ask google

[@justmeajah]

I'll always love that cheesy side of yours 😂

[@gigi_945]

In what field of law do you work? :)

[@JackDuffley]

Commercial real estate

[@franktaber]

Ayy Jack the Vlogger!

[@JackDuffley]

Gotta mix them in lol

[@ricardoquiles-rosa5545]

Every time I watch these videos about young lawyers they seem to spend ALOT of time planning to eat, work out, meditate, eat again, work on emails.. I guess. Then meditate again and tell me about their diet. Workout. I’m assuming meditate is in there somewhere again. Then back to the vague..work. Then we go into something about diet again. How much are we saying this guy is making? I am really really interested. 😅

[@JackDuffley]

I guess it's a combination of client confidentiality and talking about emails and contracts being pretty boring lol Here's a video going over more of the substance of my practice if you're curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSQnXukfbN7idk And you can find pay scales for just about any big firm posted online. They don't try very hard to hide it, if at all.

[@natefrigoletto2982]

Make sure you keep your front foot planted when you make contact with the ball. (Former travel baseball player and current LSAT taker), like the channel!

[@fxtalfr8735]

This video made me feel like a useless tool lol.

[@JackDuffley]

lol sorry that was not the goal

[@fxtalfr8735]

@@JackDuffley Haha don't sweat it brotha, it actually makes me want to hustle more every day. Keep up the good work!💪
