1626680943972073472 | Practicing attorneys: How can I get a job as a law professor? Me: h/t @heyitsalexsu https://t.co/tC8abzFtUU | 15 |
1626368550364487680 | @heyitsalexsu I’m not going to read the whole article on vacation, but my position on this is I don’t want to be doing things myself that a computer can do, and if a computer can take my place in law practice, I’ll just find something else to do with my time. All the hand wringing is dumb. | 3 |
1624078453078212611 | 🎙️ @MaryShenOCarro1 has been speaking with some of the sharpest #Legal and #LegalOps minds on her #PearlsOnGlovesOff podcast. Here are a few of our favorite pearls of wisdom from guests like @HeyItsAlexSu, @SavageFridays, and more 💚 https://t.co/m0aPvQSSmW | 3 |
1624827033288118273 | Great post from @heyitsalexsu on how to experiment with your legal career. The focus is on finding a unique niche, but many biglaw lawyers want a tracked path. But Alex’s insights are useful for conventional moves too https://t.co/sL4cfX2gfx | 2 |

1627037897143771136 | @heyitsalexsu Another exhibit as to why ours is a terrible profession (mostly) populated with terrible people. It still amazes me when people are surprised I'm actively figuring out a way to leave the profession after all "that hard work" to get in. | 1 |
1626413850017906690 | @heyitsalexsu The law is a service industry. We are plumbers dealing with other people’s sh*t. | 1 |
1627031089943576583 | @heyitsalexsu The fact that the court(s) did not find these agreements unconscionable is ridiculous | 1 |
1624829839571136512 | @heyitsalexsu You…you know he’s a tech entrepreneur, not a lawyer, right? | 1 |

1627032952092647424 | @heyitsalexsu Well they had a good run- good luck finding quality folks to come on board now | 26 |

1624832813383163905 | @heyitsalexsu Our practice group got a lot busier when covid hit. One of the partners told us that his daughter said "Daddy, when you go back to the office will I start seeing you on the weekends again?" and he thought it was hilarious and not devastating. I did not stay there much longer. | 21 |
1624981083803492358 | @heyitsalexsu Once i got: “wrong.” | 21 |
1627033468667326464 | @heyitsalexsu Seems to me that the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing would require the firm to have generated enough biz to assign enough work for the associates to meet or exceed the min billables to win the case. | 21 |
1624134543862075417 | @heyitsalexsu @ironclad_inc The low hanging fruit in legal is real for AI - basic time saving functions and data cleanup are often some of the best use cases for AI, but they don’t make for great clickbait. | 18 |
