I think you fundamentally are misunderstanding how the legal profession works as someone upthread said. This is literally how junior attorneys start work. Very few junior attorneys in firms are given their own cases to handle start-to-finish but yes, they are still providing legal counsel. In most larger firms it can take years before junior associates are given more responsibility/trial experience. Eboni most likely left to get more substantive trial experience because public defenders and prosecutors are thrown into trials almost right away. Tons of people do it; it's not unusual by any means.

There's a lot to unpack with this episode. Leah is annoying and immature. If someone says a certain topic makes them uncomfortable, drop it. She has the maturity of an elementary school kid. Eboni is a nice lady but a little too normal for this show, if that makes sense? I didn't appreciate her reference to "white fragility" when Ramona asked everyone to stop screaming. LuAnn definitely knew what she was implying when she called Eboni an angry woman. And Eboni wasn't even angry! She was being very eloquent and measured, I thought. LuAnn and Eboni were talking about two totally different things. Eboni was trying to say, "Just because a person is educated doesn't mean they don't use those words or get offended at them. I am highly educated and I use them/am okay with them." LuAnn was trying to say "Education is not just formal education, though. It also means the morals and value systems you are imparted with." They both completely missed each other's point. It might have been better for them both to say that yes, educated people can say those words, but only an educated person (in any sense of the word) has the class to know when not to say them. I'm disappointed in LuAnn.
