Justices to Take Up Lawyer Ethics, Errors

How lawyers do their jobs -- from the type of advice they give clients to the calculation of fees -- moves to the fore in the new U.S. Supreme Court term in six cases that could dramatically alter the day-to-day practice of law. The justices in recent terms typically have taken two or three cases, or even none, involving lawyering.

Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.) In the final category are firms that appear on our most recent Am Law 100 (May) or Global 100 (October 2007) survey. For a full methodology, click here.

Remembering Why I Went to Law School

Young lawyers often ask seasoned veterans why they went to law school. A common response from baby boomers is, "I wanted to improve the world." In that vein, King & Spalding senior partner Joseph R. Bankoff recalls Atlanta in the '60s, when lawyers from big-name firms were involved in "everything of importance" in the city. "Behind all the projects were lawyers," says Bankoff. "They were the glue holding the big projects together, enabling and finding ways for them to move forward."
