Partner and Millennial Associates' Performance Expectations
“They don't want to work!”
It's an all-too-familiar refrain uttered about associates of the millennial generation (those born roughly between 1980 and 2000), who have a “work isn't everything” mentality. The nature of legal work is built on a tradition of 50-60 hour work weeks. Hard work, burn out, and personal sacrifice is the norm. Partners who did pay their dues at a time when being a “workaholic” was expected and respected view those who turn down work or can't work late as lazy, disloyal, undedicated, disrespectful of authority and unwilling to pay the dues needed to succeed. These partners expect associates to follow in their footsteps and do whatever it takes to get things done, to be loyal firm citizens, and to contribute to the bottom line.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
