Associate's Death Raises Questions About Work/Life Balance at Law Firms
Stress can be just as deleterious to your health when working at a regional firm as it is when you work for a truly huge firm. This week, we've been fielding a bunch of reports about an associate who passed away at home after working what some tipsters report as maniac hours at his regional law firm the week before. It's a sad story, one that some accuse the law firm of trying to cover up, but it's another opportunity for us to remind readers to take care of themselves even when work seems overwhelming.... -

Greg Kelly, the popular television host, has been cleared of his rape allegations -- he won't even face charges.

The Mandatory Firm Retreat Associates Have To Pay For Out Of Pocket
Traditionally, if your employer is going to make you go to a mandatory retreat, then the employer is going to cover the hotel and airfare of the employees. That's just how corporate America works. But associates at one midsize firm seem to be getting the short end of the stick: their firm is apparently forcing them to attend a two-night retreat, but is only paying for a one-night stay in their hotel rooms. -

Finding a Legal Job? There's an App for That
Law firm marketing and technology don’t always go well together. When firms try to go high-tech, the results are often mortifyingly cheesy.
