Now it&#039;s about 800. In [these] times nobody leaves voluntarily... Most people have an end date March 31, but it looks like DPW will stagger this in order to make the departures more friendly.&quot;____Now go to <a href="http://dpw.com/attysearch/atty.search2.jsp" target="_blank">http://dpw.com/attysearch/atty.search2.jsp</a> and then search for all partners. You get 166 matches. Then search for just associates and you get 467 matches. Keep doing it for all the other titles (counsel, law clerks, senior counsel) and you end up with 768 total. 51 less attorneys since last year. __ Wed, 13 May 2009 16:44:48 +0000 http://lawshucks.com/2009/05/this-week-in-layoffs-5809/#IDComment21387762
