HASTINGS A IHuIn /H4ilet/H Published by Hastings College of the Law Alumni Association Vol. 10 January, 1960 No. I President's Message It is good to know that the efforts of your Board of Governors do not go unrewarded. There were 463 in attendance at the Annual Meeting and Luncheon of the Alumni Association, which was held in conjunction with the State Bar Convention on September 24, 1959, in San Francisco. This was the largest function ever held by the Association. Although 27 alumni who are members of the Judiciary were present as invited guests, there was no deficit. If you have paid your dues for 1959-60, Treasurer Lerer still has them! If you have not, he will be happy to receive your check for $3.00. It is the intention of the Board of Governors to hold regional meetings from time to time, outside of San Francisco. The first of the current year will be held at Sacramento, on March 8, 1960. It will be followed by a Legislative Reception, to which all members of the Legislature and all Hastings Alumni will be invited. The Place: Senator Hotel The Time: 6:00 P. M. The Date: March 8, 1960 Most of you know that we have undertaken to establish a Professor- ship in the name of our former Professor and dear friend, Robert W. Harrison. Our goal is almost in sight; but we need $4,200 in order to achieve it. We intend to complete this most worthwhile undertaking during the present year. When that has been done, we shall honor "Bob" Harrison appropriately at a luncheon given in his honor. Your loyalty to Hastings may best be demonstrated by making a tax deductible contri- bution to the Robert W. Harrison Professorship Fund, remitting the same directly to the College. MAx H. MARGOLIS, President. EditorialI This is the time of year when the rolls of the legal profession are augmented by the recent crop of admittees. In each community there is an opportunity for you to offer help to a new Hastings graduate. While the number of attorneys soars, our total population in California soars faster, and there is no surplus of lawyers. There may be, however, a dislocation which makes it difficult for some to find their start. Your help to a new Hastings graduate will help the Alumni Asso- ciation. If each new graduate is welcomed to this Association by your active assistance in finding a location, or learning the professional techniques, it will pave the way for his awareness of the Alumni Asso- ciation. As he makes his way in the legal profession, he will want to take an active part in Alumni activities. Lend a helping hand to our newest members! ENOS C. REID, '39 . Vice-President WILLIAM C.

  • Understanding the Lateral Hiring Frenzy Richard T
    Understanding The Lateral Hiring Frenzy Richard T. Rapp, Principal, Veltro Advisors, Inc. Why is lateral hiring proceeding at a frenetic pace even though legal employment is far below its 2007 peak? According to The American Lawyer, “Among Am Law ​ ​ 200 firms, the lateral partner market was so overheated that 92.5 percent of respondent to [their] new partner survey released in November said that legal 1 recruiters already had approached them.” ​ Is lateral hiring at this pace a destabilizing force in the law industry or a sensible, productive feature of the legal labor market? And is it transitory or will it last? To know the answers requires stepping back to understand the economics of the market for lawyers. We can address this in two parts: first, managerial motives for lateral hiring which are easy to understand and, second—and harder to grasp—the market forces that propel lateral mobility, the likes of which we do not find in most other markets for senior talent. As it turns out, the best way to think about lateral hiring among law firms is as a kind of arbitrage; arbitrage that is likely to persist as long as the gains to partners from shifting are available. When we think about arbitrage we usually think about buying and selling to capture the gains from differences across markets, for example, differences in Euro­Dollar exchange rates between London and Singapore. But more generally, arbitrage refers to any effort to gain by exploiting differences in prices. In this case it is differences among law firms in the price of legal talent that is the main—though not the only—motivator of lateral moves by senior lawyers.
