25 Years of Legal Practice: How the D.C. Market Has Changed-and Where It's Headed
Recorded October 7, 2003
In 1978, the District of Columbia's largest law firm had a little over 200 lawyers firmwide. Today, the biggest firms in the city are pushing 1,000 lawyers. And over the past 25 years, Washington has become a magnet for out-of-town firms of all kinds-drawn by burgeoning and reliable work generated by the federal government and its growing presence in business and culture. To mark 25 years of covering law, business, and government in the nation's capital, Legal Times assembled this panel of managing partners to step back and discuss how the D.C. legal profession has changed and where it is headed.

Sizing Up a Pivotal Supreme Court Term: A Practitioner's View
Recorded July 16, 2003
The Supreme Court term that adjourned for summer on June 26, 2003, produced headlines, surprises-and no retirements. Legal Times brought together five experts on the Supreme Court for the second annual review of the Court's work. All five panelists argued at least one case in the past term. With some lawyers, said moderator Tony Mauro, that unique perspective "might be a kind of tunnel vision focused only on the cases they argued. But the lawyers here, I can safely say, follow the Court broadly and have varied views and experiences that will help us understand what happened this term." Mauro is Supreme Court correspondent for Legal Times.
