Because once you're the counsel on the matter you're responsible for how the matter is conducted. The PCR doesn't care whether you're the junior or senior on the file. Choose your bosses very carefully, young one... (I'd tend to stay far away from lawyers who are always groveling for media attention/trying too hard to be the "next big thing")
