Associates Survey 2008

To find out how Midlevel associates rate their firms as workplaces, our annual midlevel survey examined 12 areas that contribute to job satisfaction. They include relations with partners and other associates, the interest and satisfaction level asso-ciates have in their work, training and guidance, policy on billables, management openness about firm strategies and partnership chances, the firm?s attitude toward pro bono work, compensation and benefits, and the respondents? inclination to stay at their firm for at least two more years. Respondents graded their firms on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score. On this chart, firms with ten or more responses are ranked by their averages on those questions. Averages include responses from all participating of-fices. For definitions of national and international firms, and for other details, see our methodology

Heller, who has aimed for a job in sports management since college, is more than familiar with his client. Since 2000, he has served as assistant team counsel for the Braves.

Judges Cast Skeptical Eyes on Southern Co. Race Suit

Until this week, one might have thought the 11th Circuit wasn't so interested in a high-profile race discrimination suit against Southern Co.; the court had already taken the rare step of denying two groups' requests to offer views in amicus briefs. But Tuesday a panel subjected the case to an examination nearly three times longer than the norm. At issue was whether a judge abused her discretion when deciding whether plaintiffs met requirements for a class action.

1st Circuit: Individual Parties Must Be Named for D&O Coverage to Apply

The 1st Circuit ruled Thursday that companies cannot recover the cost of fighting lawsuits or administrative cases alleging wrongful director or officer conduct unless the cases name the individuals as parties. Judge Bruce Selya wrote that directors and officers policies exist to protect corporate directors and officers, not corporations, from personal liability from lawsuits, and that the position advanced by the company in the case "would if accepted transmogrify D&O policies into comprehensive corporate liability policies."
