The Rodent: All About Perks

Money isn't the only thing on the minds of lawyers -- or even prelawyers. Exhibit A is summer associates, who spend a couple of months at The Firm and then return to campus comparing notes about their summer experience. Such conversations rarely revolve around the type of assignments the summer associate completed.

New TV Show "First Monday" Puts Drama Above Accuracy

The U.S. Supreme Court debuts this week as a vehicle for television drama, and it is more likely to have Washington`s legal elite shouting oy, vey than oyez.
