Associates: Top 10 Questions to Ask Your Supervising Attorney

Originally published by Cordell Parvin.

Knowing that many first-year lawyers will be starting with their law firms in September, I want to share questions  I suggest associates ask the more senior lawyers who give them assignments.

 At the Beginning of a Project:

  1. When would you like me to complete this project?
  2. Describe what you have been told to do and then ask: Have I missed anything?
  3. How many hours are you expecting me to take on the project?
  4. Are there any materials I should review?
  5. Would it be helpful if I gave you my initial findings/conclusions?

At the end of the project:

  1. Have I covered all the areas you wanted?
  2. Is there anything more I can do to help you with this?
  3. Can you give me some feedback on my work?
  4. Are there any areas where you think I could improve?
  5. Can I help you with any other projects now?
