Summer programs survive at most big texas firms

Despite a sagging economy, recent layoff announcements and the discontinuation of a summer associate program by one large Texas firm, 17 of the 25 largest firms in Texas confirm they are continuing with their 2009 summer associate programs. But these are tough times, even in Texas. Most of the 17 firms, as anticipated, hired smaller 2009 summer classes than they did in 2008.

Become a Rainmaker Already?

Diane M. Downs, manager of attorney development at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, writes that becoming a rainmaker is often a distant, mystifying goal to new associates just making the transition to the world of work. More pressing issues such as learning the practice, satisfying an array of supervising attorneys and taming the billable hour are at hand.

Restrictive Covenants in Employment Agreements

The scope and enforceability of non-solicitation clauses was recently given extended analysis by the New York Court of Appeals, that state's highest court, in BDO Seidman v. Hirshberg. By extending judicial enforceability to such clauses in certain circumstances, the BDO Seidman decision brought New York in line with a growing trend among the states and is a useful gauge of what nonsolicitation clauses can achieve -- and what they cannot.
