MESSAGE TO It is important to highlight the extremely productive yea r that the faculty had in its scholarship, research, and public service endeavors. Specifi cs will appear in upcoming issues of the Has tings Community. Suffi ce it to note here that during 1993-94, the Hastings faculty pub­ li shed 8 books and 15 annual book supplements; 17 law review arti­ cles; 8 chapters in books; and 5 book reviews. Faculty members also presented papers and made speeches and pre entations at 37 different events, ranging from national scholarly conferences to state and local bar meetings and various pecialized organization meetings. Addition­ ally, more than 13 CLE talks we re given to vari ous groups. Many of these activities were supported by the 1066 Faculty Development Fund and through our summer research stipend program, and the faculty is very grateful for these most critical means of support. In the public ser­ vice arena, Hastings facu lty members sa t on more than 30 governing boards and advisory committee. These ranged from national educa­ tion assoc iations to state commi sions to local bar committees to com­ munity school boards and other charitable organizat ions. Turning to programmatic developments, the faculty continued its review of the upper-class curriculum and agreed to review next fall spe­ cific proposals for possible speciali za tion programs in several areas within the ].0. curriculum. The objective is to approve one or more in time to implement them for the 1995-96 academic yea r. Also, the trial skills courses were integrated to provide a more unified structure, r T ITS SEPTEMBER MEETING I PRESENTED TO THE all owing for the development of advanced offerings in the area.

Introduction The rise and growth of large Jewish law firms in New York City during the second half of the twentieth century is nothing short of an astounding success story. 2 As late as 1950, there was not a single large Jewish law firm in town. By the mid-1960s, six of the largest twenty law firms were Jewish, and by 1980, four of the largest ten law firms were Jewish firms.3 Moreover, the accomplishment of these Jewish firms is especially striking because, while the traditional large White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (“WASP”) law firms also grew at a fast rate during this period, the Jewish firms grew twice as fast, and they did so in spite of explicit discrimination.

    Law Firms and Associate Careers: Tournament Theory Versus the Production-Imperative Model Kevin A. Kordana Pray look better, Sir, quoth Sancho; those things yonder are no Giants, but Wind-mills .... The career of an associate in a large law firm has been portrayed in stark Darwinian terms: Only the fittest survive the "tournament" that is established by the firm's partners.

  • Managing Through Law Firm Crisis
    LEADING IN THE FACE OF LAW FIRM CRISIS An Experiential Guidebook For Our Times The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on businesses world-wide. Law firms have been no exception. A relative handful of firms are enjoying an increase in demand for their services. For these firms, primary challenges relate to maintaining a safe work environment whether through working from home or modifying personal interaction at the office. For many firms, however, the business disruption includes a decline in work (and corresponding revenue) to an unknown degree for an unknown duration. Many of those firms find themselves in crisis. The following case studies, analysis, observations are offered as historical perspective on the role of leadership in the midst of crisis. In particular, we’ve zeroed in on the challenges related to maintaining stability and liquidity that many law firm leaders now find themselves waking to each day. 2 of 41 WHAT HAPPENED? EXPLORING THE WAKE OF MAN-MADE DISASTERS It seems that scarcely a month passes without news of immeasurable catastrophe in the wake of natural disaster. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis can, in the blink of an eye, alter life in unimaginable ways. Aware of the potential consequences, we tend to keep a watchful eye for any early warning signs of such events. And then there are those disasters that are of our own making. Oil spills, breached levees, and economic shell games can pack an equally heavy punch. The tragedy, of course, is that these disasters bear our fingerprints and are to some degree avoidable.

We focus on an extreme case - collective turnover after a merger between privately held firms, and argue that a cascade of exits triggers a loss of confidence in the firm, leading to subsequent exits. We show that it is not the loss of proficient talent that is a key signal of the loss of confidence, instead, it is the polarization of exits between the employees of the acquiring and acquired firm that signals uncertainty and jumpstarts other exits. We suggest that the momentum of ‘news’ after a merger affects confidence in the firm, and distinguish between the momentum of ‘bad news’ and the momentum of ‘good news.
