It's summer. Our imaginations drift toward vacations. Once upon a time (a/k/a when I was a kid), vacations were a stressed filled week at the shore or incessant sightseeing in our nation's capital. Employees nervous about taking leave, employers begrudgingly granting them leave. The passage of time though doesn't equate automatically with progress—including how vacations are viewed, taken and defined by society at large and law firms in particular.
