There's this Associate in my Office.
Extremely competent!
If she sends you a document to review, rest assured you'll have very few things to hard or review. I love working with people who own their tasks and make life easier for you as SA.
Reminds me of my days with my former Boss, a Former AG of a State.
It got to a point, Baba stopped reviewing my work and was so confident that he would tell me to get my processes printed and filed.

Earlier today at the National Industrial Conduct with my learned colleagues.
We announced our humble appearance on behalf of the defendants and My Noble Lord was pleased!

Facts!
“Lawyer, why didn’t you ask the other party plenty questions during cross-examination when the court asked you to? Her lawyer spent over one hour asking her questions. Will this not affect our case, sir?”
This was the first thing the curious client said to me after the virtual proceedings.
The question was very much expected, as I never envisioned myself asking just four questions out of my proposed eleven possible questions during cross-examination while preparing for the trial. The level of happiness an aggrieved person enjoys when they see their lawyer “dealing” with the other party while standing in the witness box cannot be quantified. Most clients even see this exercise as a metric to measure the lawyer’s competence.
However, remember that clients would not be happy to discover that their case got weakened due to the irrelevant questions asked by the lawyer representing them.
“Coming to cross-examination, the advocate should realise that it is not just a routine or necessary ritual. If there is no purpose, and nothing to be gained by asking any particular question, then that question should not be asked. There is never a cause contested in a trial Court, the result of which is not mainly dependent upon the skill with which the advocate conducts his cross-examination.”

Say this prayer. "Almighty. Grant me contentment. Don’t let my mind believe that everyone seems to have a better life than I do. Teach me to be grateful for all that You have given me and all that You took away. Aameen."

Dalot is the only player who keeps playing matches, but never improved. I think his brain is not functioning well.
