Explain what litigation, transactional, and regulatory work consists of in 2 sentences in regards to what a first year associate actually does.

I'm aware of what types of work they each consist of on a vague big picture type scale, but I am interested in what the work a first year associate in one of those fields actually consists of.

Litigation: doc review and searching for cases that don't exist
Transactional: due diligence and search and replace
Regulatory: CFR, FedReg, and agency opinion research

Litigation: copy & paste case law; read, write, edit; dream of the day you'll never go to trial
Transactional: copy & paste and edit contract provisions; redline review; listen to conference calls
Regulatory: copy & paste regulations/statutes; fill in facts and dollar figures.

Litigation:

Research, perhaps write,
Doc review and doc review.
Ooh, deposition!

Transactional:

Find a precedent,
Control F, then version up.
Not more diligence!

Regulatory:

Not sure, maybe read
The Code of Regulations.
Perhaps they write things?

This is already a terrific thread.

Transactional: Draft new agreement from base document and grammar-rage at how poorly punctuated the base document is.
