Many are used to workplaces where people come and go. Law firm environments are especially known for revolving door associates and legal support staff circulating among firms, sometimes for reasons of higher pay or better conditions, sometimes because they got the boot. In my career I was lucky once. I had a legal assistant who was perfect and I had her for seven years until she finally earned her bachelor’s degree at night school and moved on to become an elementary school teacher, something she always wanted. After that, I was like Murphy Brown.
The U.S. District Court is a notable exception. In a previous column dedicated to the late Kevin Rowe, I spoke of the unique caliber and quality of the District Court staff. Kevin’s passing at a young age saddened all and his absence from the helm after so many years was itself an adjustment for staff and others associated with Connecticut’s federal courts. But boy, when it rains it pours. Now the District will lose a crop of its veterans who are taking retirement or leave after many years of superb service.
