The ABA Journal is surveying lawyers to find out if they feel the pinch of the recession (yes, I said the ‘R’ word and would have said it last January too). My thinking: If you’ve got the time to screw around with surveys, you’re probably feeling the pinch, so results are probably going to be skewed.  On the other hand, you can justify your participation as a busy attorney in the name of providing a fair and balanced survey result. Hit the link to take the survey and I’ll be sure to post results once they come back.
“The ABA Journal is surveying lawyers about the job market and the current state of the economy.“
It’s clear we are all hurting. There have been large layoffs at all the large firms. I think there have been 10000 layoffs this year according to a website that tracks this sort of stuff.
