Making Gains, But Still Far to Go

As recently as the 1970s, African-American lawyers were routinely mistaken for messengers by co-workers. Into the 1980s, women lawyers were asked to fetch coffee for male counterparts. The dozen or so minority and woman lawyers who were among the first to reach partnership status in Washington, D.C law firms all have stories like these to tell. Today, minorities account for 3.3 percent of partners in major firms in the District and women make up just over 15 percent of the city's partners.

Whitmyer Jr. maintains his clients shouldn't have been punished for failing to turn over an opinion letter.

The A-List (51-200)

Lawyers like to lament the passing of their fabled past, when partners knew each other on sight, firms contented themselves to operating in one ZIP code and junior associates were not a menacing anonymous horde threatening to take out their frustrations via the blogosphere. As it happens, in the big-firm world those days aren't gone, they've just moved to the Am Law Second Hundred ranks, where firms are prosperous and growing steadily but retain the possibility of old-fashioned cohesion.

Still the One

After a 50-year career in Congress and on the bench, one Washington D.C. veteran reflects on the allure of practicing law in the nation's capital.

Sun Shines on Select Law Firms

Five years ago, Sun Microsystems worked with about 400 outside law firms. In the last few months, Sun has dramatically pared down its roster of outside counsel to nine firms that handle all its routine work.

Whistle While You Work

If 2004's summer associates had a collective motto, it might be the comment by an intern at Pittsburgh's Buchanan Ingersoll: "I loved coming to work every day." In the 2004 Summer Associates Survey, this year's crop of soon-to-be lawyers positively gushed over how much they liked their firms, their work and the lawyers they worked with.
