How to keep things in order when the paperwork is overwhelming.
I keep a one-page “case map” at the top of each matter and update it with date, five-word summary, and location/Bates range for every new document, so I can just search the map instead of digging through folders; it adds a minute per upload but saves hours during partner fire drills. For anything fact- or strategy-specific, I defer to the attorney on the case.
