the partners do little work,but not the associates, they go throught all those docs to make everything is correct and orders the partners to sign them and totally can gety away with it because it`s all the parnters fault for scerwing up and not signing for turning slopping work in. on tv you see all this neat work done by lawyers,but don`t see the staff required to do it.
theirs a reason law firms have a high turn-over,despite in the clerical field they pay the highest.
