Closing of Court Cafeteria Shutters D.C. Law 'Office'
The recent closing of the Superior Court cafeteria in Washington, D.C., means more than the loss of inexpensive hot food for local lawyers.
They’re also now coping with the loss of what amounts to their law offices, since the cafeteria offered a place to sit down and talk with clients, even if privacy sometimes was lacking, reports the Washington City Paper.
“I keep on wanting to tell clients to meet me in the cafeteria, and there’s no cafeteria,” says Bruce Cooper, one of the attorneys whose practice frequently takes him to the courthouse. “There’s really no meeting space. It’s a real scramble to find someplace.”
