Handicapping Bush's Judicial Nominations

With President Bush's decision to renominate 12 contentious appeals court candidates, the die seemed cast for a repeat of nominee-related filibustering in Congress. A relatively simple compromise could free up some judges, but divisions seem to be hardening. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has effectively threatened to stop filibusters with a rare parliamentary maneuver referred to by fellow Republicans as the "constitutional" option but described by Democrats as the "nuclear" option.

Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.)

Endless Summer Casual in New York and Washington, D.C.

San Francisco's Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe's New York office resisted the everyday-casual epidemic until recently when partner-in-charge Larry Fisher raised the white, khaki flag.
