[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous], it's glutted with attorneys who have never been able to find permanent jobs given the terrible market, and they have made this itinerant work their job. No one wants to be doing that. The money isn't sustainable if you have loans and need constant work and benefits; it provides neither. But temporarily, it works. Een better if you leave it off the resume. Can you tell I am bitter?[/quote]

Agree. DH was laid off 6 months ago.  Got a fair amount of interviewes early on but conflicted out. He is doing doc review now @ 50 per hour in foreign languages. [/quote]
The conflicted out thing really, really sucks.[/quote]

Not understanding why an associate would get conflicted out. Can you explain?[/quote]

?  Not sure what you don't understand.  It doesn't matter if you are an associate or not.  Under the rules of most jurisdictions, a conflict involving one lawyer is imputed to all lawyers in the firm.  [/quote]

I'm not an attorney but I'm married to one, and have a number of friends who are. I never heard of lateral moves being affected by conflict. How could anyone make a move given the wide client bases and bumber of matters existing in big law firms?  My understanding is that there are ways if working  around it. [/quote]
