Words of Wisdom: BLS Advisors on Changes in the Profession - Is This Progress?
-
The BLS Advisors program recognizes individuals who have distinguished
themselves as practitioners, teachers, or government officials in one or
more of the areas in which committees of the Section of Business Law are
active. The Section looks for senior lawyers with national reputations who
are interested in sharing the wisdom and knowledge they have accumulated
over years of practice. In this program, four of our Section's Advisors
evaluate the pluses and minuses of such changes in the profession as the
growth of the "mega-firm," the faithlessness of clients, the primacy of
"big bucks," the advent of lateral "poaching," and technology overload.
