The results of The Legal Intelligencer 's 2009 Second-Year Associates Questionnaire show the effect the past year's economic woes have had on associates' outlook. Perhaps the most telling indication that 2009 had a very different economic landscape than 2008 was that the percentage of respondents expressing layoff worries more than doubled from last year. Confidence in firm loyalty to associates during the recession also waned. But there was some good news this year, too, according to survey results.
