[quote=Anonymous]That said, both partnership and tenure have been changing. DH’s firm, at the time he was up for partner and I was tenure-track, worked on an up-or-out model. All partners were equity partners and (almost all) lawyers who weren’t partners were associates on a partnership track. There were very few lateral hires at the the partnership level at his firm in those days. All of this has since changed. Lots of staff attorneys, of counsels, laterals who cut various deals, etc. And the same is true wrt academia, see, e.g. increasing reliance on adjuncts, few TT hires of newly-minted PhDs, and (most recently) dissolution of departments as a way of getting rid of some faculty with tenure.[/quote]
