Working Weekends

I doubt I ever once considered that I would work on weekends when I was a student aspiring to one day become an attorney. It probably took about a year or so after I began practicing law for me to become part of the “weekend team.” That meant I was a trusted enough member of the firm to work on weekends – when the real strategy happens. That’s when you have no distractions, the phone does not ring and there are no hearings or conferences to attend. Soon thereafter, I began working on most weekends, just to get myself organized or get a head start on the upcoming week’s projects. Do I mind working on weekends? Not at all. I do my best work on weekends and I don’t get stuck in rush hour traffic.
