My former supervising solicitor used to say to me “don’t take notes, you should remember what I tell you”.

Is that normal? I write everything down. When you hand me 10 files it helps to have a list

Not normal. Former supervisor for a reason.

Ipso facto calling in a hit on your supercilious supervisor solves your problem.

That sounds incredibly stupid. I always tell our paralegals to write everything down. Sometimes they don’t, and then they come back two weeks later asking how to do it.

That seems...fucking bonkers.

Edit: with that logic, you should have worked on the logic of "Don't read case law, I should remember what the judge tells me."

Yep he was a massive pain to work for. Thank goodness it’s all in the past now. Edit: and the worst part was it really made me doubt myself and my abilities and lose a lot of confidence. I would try not taking notes and found myself always behind.

Fair enough. I just thought they were registrars. I’m out of touch with the lingo living overseas
