On my radar

A new legal blog on my reading list.  It’s called What about Clients? Check it out.  Particularly their post on whether new associates and articling students should pay their firms during the first couple of years.  They suggest that student’s get more out for the first couple of years than they put in.  I’ve heard that argument before in another form:  new associates are a liability not a benefit to the firm.  I’m not so sure it’s true.  Particularly after  I saw a client bill the other day at work…student work does get billed to clients.
