- How to tell your employer you're taking a judicial clerkship
- Whether and what criminal, mental, physical, or substance abuse issues need to be discussed with your boss
- How to have difficult conversations about troublesome bosses or coworkers or just because you’ve taken on too much work
- Technology! What to do when you’ve accidentally opened or deleted something you shouldn’t have
