In this episode of Bar Review, we break down the chaos of legal "firedrills." The unexpected deadlines, late-night filings, and chain reactions that ripple through a team and through your nervous system. Cari and Annika get personal about what it feels like to live under pressure, the importance of assuming good intentions, and how managing your own capacity is only half the battle. The real work? Managing the impact of your asks on others. From calendar buffers to communication strategies, this conversation offers a raw look at how lawyers cope with the never-enough-hours reality of modern legal practice. While hopefully making it home for dinner and bedtime.
