Lawyer Issues

06/17/2026

Lawyers when they’re already exhausted but it’s only Wednesday know a very specific kind of pain.

You’ve survived Monday chaos, Tuesday deadlines, 47 emails, three client emergencies, two partner requests, and one “quick question” that ruined your entire afternoon.

Then you check the calendar and realize the week isn’t almost over.
It’s just emotionally disrespectful.

A new app Clockout that only accepts smart people is reportedly rejecting most Cooley Law graduates.

The company said it “can’t accept everyone” if it wants to maintain the quality of its network.

Harvard, Columbia, NYU, and Georgetown Law grads still appear to be getting approved.

Law firm partners when an associate says they can’t work Saturday because they “need a break” act like they just heard the most offensive legal argument of their career.

A break?
After only five days of emails, clients, deadlines, revisions, billing pressure, court prep, and being mentally held hostage by the law firm?

In some firms, “work-life balance” means you get to choose which part of Saturday you ruin. 😭⚖️
