Our office recently hired a law student. He always has his head phone (ipod
) on while working. He says he needs to listen to the music while working.. I wonder how long before he gets fired. Anyone think this is weird?

If it helps him keep on task and keep his mouth shut, I wouldn't have a problem with it. This assumes, of course, that it's not a violation of firm policy.
I suppose that says a good bit about my experience with summer clerks. |

Walking around the office with headphones on tells me, via body langauge, I don't want to socialize. However, as a summer clerk, how are you going to learn anything without talking to the paralegals.
I've helped teach many young summer clerks and first years!! |

| Do the summer clerks and first years actually listen to the paralegal? With or without headphones.... |

One of our attorneys listens to his iPod all the time. I also listen to mine a lot, or plug in to AOL radio. since I don't have an office door I can close. It gets pretty loud sometimes (I work with a social bunch of folks), and I need a way to tune everyone out and concentrate. I spend a great deal of time doing legal research and drafting motions, and while I would prefer to be able to close the door, I'll take whatever I can get.
As long as he's churning out the work, I'm not sure why it would be an issue.

| It's not weird to do so as an employee who has worked there for sometime, however for a new employee to do so is a little strange!! |
