Being Dan Webb

You want to be Dan Webb. You want Jack Welch calling you when his divorce gets ugly. You want former Illinois Gov. George Ryan calling you when federal prosecutors indict him for fraud and racketeering. You want The New York Times anointing you a "superlawyer"; clients happy to pay your $700-an-hour fee.

Morale Booster

Two years ago the legal department at Computer Associates was a tough place to work. Morale was low and the general attitude was: Keep your head down, do your work and don't ask questions. But today, an engaged and approachable GC, Kenneth Handal, meets regularly with his more-than-doubled staff. Handal created a clear organizational structure and replaced the former cubicle farm with an office suite that allows for confidential conversations.

Antitrust attorneys expect the Federal Trade Commission's next competition chief, Richard Parker, to continue to drive an aggressive antitrust program at the agency. While that is not necessary welcome news for corporate executives, attorneys are hopeful that Mr. Parker's approach could be.

The Graduates

With only weeks left until graduation, Adam Wilczewski is hustling to find a job. He, like many other 2004 grads, has by necessity broadened his search to include judicial clerkships, government jobs, nonprofits and beyond -- because in this post-crash, lateral-happy legal economy, landing that first job hasn't been the sure thing it seemed to be three years ago, when firms were practically throwing cash at new J.D.s and virtually every 3L had it made.
