Associate Life Survey: Gettin' Busy, Or Completely Screwed?
Back in December, one of our ATL / Lateral Link surveys found that about 18% of associates were afraid they wouldn’t make their hours. By June, that number had risen to 28%.

Many of you have sounded pretty worried lately. After Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch collapsed, transactional associates said they had a few simple concerns:

It’s the end of the world.
Litigators, however, had a slightly different reaction:

So, does the reality match the predictions? Are transactional associates even slower? Are litigators really getting busy?
