Keys to the Kingdom

Misery loves company. Why else do lawyers fight for jobs at firms that take a beating in The American Lawyer's annual midlevel job satisfaction survey? In a word, prestige. Big names -- like Cravath, Swaine & Moore and Sullivan & Cromwell -- rank near the bottom of this year's survey, but according to legal recruiters and associates, the halo hanging over the biggies overrides the malcontent inside.

Today, John Roberts Jr., the youngest chief justice in more than two centuries, steps into the fishbowl and takes on the duties of running the Supreme Court and the judicial branch without a moment of apprenticeship.
