Don't Know Which Fork to Use? Listen Up!

Each February, Michelle Mitchell, associate director of career development at Michigan State University College of Law, plans a booby-trapped dinner for law students who may know plenty about the Rule Against Perpetuities but zilch about a fish fork. The dinners are designed to address the deficiency in etiquette know-how among young people, a problem so pronounced that law schools and law firms alike are assuming the task of teaching social graces to a generation raised on Taco Bell take-out.

Associates Survey 2008

To find out how Midlevel associates rate their firms as workplaces, our annual midlevel survey examined 12 areas that contribute to job satisfaction. They include relations with partners and other associates, the interest and satisfaction level asso-ciates have in their work, training and guidance, policy on billables, management openness about firm strategies and partnership chances, the firm?s attitude toward pro bono work, compensation and benefits, and the respondents? inclination to stay at their firm for at least two more years. Respondents graded their firms on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score. On this chart, firms with ten or more responses are ranked by their averages on those questions. Averages include responses from all participating of-fices. For definitions of national and international firms, and for other details, see our methodology

The SEC has voluntarily dropped its civil case against four former Broadcom executives, including the former general counsel.

In December, a federal judge dismissed criminal charges against Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas and former CFO William Ruehle, largely due to prosecutorial misconduct. The judge also dismissed the SEC's related complaint but gave the commission the option to amend the charges.
