Just before the holidays, Alston & Bird upped first-year associates' salaries to $115,000. Legal search firm founder Lee Ann Bellon says she'd like to meet the first-year who is worth that much. While not doubting that cream-of-the-crop law school graduates are bright and have spent untold amounts getting their degrees, Bellon says they also don't know the first thing about practicing law and that secretaries who have been with the firm for more than a decade have more knowledge in their little fingers.

For those of you who were already out of town or buried in last-minute deals, Alston & Bird played the role of the Grinch for the Atlanta legal community right before the holidays. First, the firm announced it was raising first-year associate salaries to $115,000 as of January 1, and worse yet, seventh-year associate salaries would zoom from $137,500 to $165,000.
Would someone please introduce me to the first-year associate who is worth $115,000?
