I noticed that some large law firms are buying out their secretarial contracts and ultimately reducing their administrative costs. Is that a wise idea?

The writer of this article thinks it is a bad idea. Clearly, with younger lawyers having great computer expertise and great typing skills, many firms don’t see the need of having a secretary for each lawyer anymore. It’s a dollar-and-cost issue. Like any business, if you don’t need to pay for a number of secretaries, then you get rid of them and reduce the bottom line.
