Attorneys are supposed to churn, churn, churn, all while being completely uncontroversial and un-opinionated on any topic that could create controversy. What makes me so sad is what "uncontroversial" has come to mean. Things like God, faith, and even large families are now controversial? Crazy world, crazy world . . .

I started blogging in 2004 in law school with a pseudonymous handle - classmates and others could pretty easily identify me if they wanted, but at least I wasn't quite so Google-able. It was great, but it was pre-kids and pre-employment. I stopped blogging when I went to Big Law because, while I wasn't afraid to speak out for my beliefs, I *really* didn't want to possibly jeopardize my job. It's hard enough to find other religious or conservative (in my case, at least) lawyers, still less religious or conservative women lawyers. I was definitely an outlier everywhere I went, except the Federalist Society and St. Thomas More :) So I completely understand staying anonymous. But it's cool to know you exist out there somewhere :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318471042928659255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166303127691282253.post-81456328038536836142013-11-09T22:37:42.836-08:002013-11-09T22:37:42.836-08:00Lindsay,

I console myself with the thought that, as long as they have "plausible deniability" (i.e., they aren't identified on the blog and it would be pretty tough for anyone to identify me), then it (hopefully) won't be that big of a deal. When I first read your post that I quoted from above, it really resonated with me. 'Never let them see the mask slip.' On the tough days, I sometimes find myself repeating those words to rally myself. Sad, but so true. Anyway, so glad you found me and let's stay in touch!The Catholic Lawyer Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040630485122289140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166303127691282253.post-40731717825788733472013-11-07T13:16:16.604-08:002013-11-07T13:16:16.604-08:00PS: thanks for the link to my blog!

My full name doesn't appear anywhere on my (tiny, mostly neglected) blog either, and I would never name my firm. I still worry about them checking my browser history. Anyway, love your blog - I'm another Catholic BigLaw Mama of 3 under 4, and look forward to reading more!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559453856811474124noreply@blogger.com
