How is the Financial Crisis Touching Your Life?
The 24/7 financial crisis news stream, layoff reports and, yes, that nasty word, recession, has us scrambling, looking for all the ways these current events are having an impact on lawyers and the legal profession.
We’ve seen law firms regroup to form rapid response teams and “new” practices sprout up.
This made us wonder how you—the regular Joe Six-Pack lawyer—are weathering this crisis so far and how or if you have a plan to get through it.
So tell us …
How has this unprecedented global financial crisis affected you? And if it hasn’t, how are you keeping your practice and personal life above the fray?

Read last week’s question and abundant answers about whether LSATs and letter grades are telling or useless.
Our favorite answer from last week:
Excerpted from a post by “Tiger”: “Are there great legal minds who might not get accepted to law school because of poor LSAT scores? Sure. Are there rote memorization savants who will get a good undergraduate GPA and LSAT score, but who will make poor attorneys? Sure.
However, no system that attempts to judge the potential of individuals on an objective basis (or subjective for that matter) will ever be more than partially effective. No one is a perfect judge of character. At least GPA and LSAT create some objective criteria to look at.”
