Skaddenfreude: The Waiting Game (and Morning Open Thread)
Sorry, we have nothing new to report concerning either associate pay raises or clerkship bonuses. The best we can offer is yet another non-announcement announcement (like these two). Today’s email, which actually made the rounds earlier in the week, comes from McDermott Will & Emery: As you are probably aware, over the last two weeks […] -

So if anything big happens while we’re gone, this is […] - Sponsored
