I have largely taught myself all of them. I run every case from start to finish, and they are all litigious.
I do not have an assistant, so I also handle all client communication, billing, discovery, calendaring, mailing, etc.
There’s no mentor to ask questions to because no one here knows the practice area. I feel like I’m expected to just magically build this department myself.
Every day I’m Googling, reading statutes/cases, trying to figure things out from scratch, and lowkey panicking that I’m missing something important.
