As 3Ls graduate and prepare to engage in the practice of law, we want to leave them with a few practice tips. While some of these may appear to be common sense, our experience with attorneys who have done all of the below indicate that it may prove helpful to spell these out.
First, don’t be unnecessarily difficult or rude when dealing with your adversary. Professional courtesy goes a long way. If your adversary is seeking your consent in requesting from the court an extension of the deadline for filing his or her brief, grant it if it will not prejudice your client. Somewhere down the line, you may need an extension yourself and your unreasonableness toward your adversary may come back to bite you.
