    When you are an employee, security is an illusion. Lawyers who do not have a reasonable prospect of becoming partners should begin planning for the day they can go to work for somebody who will never fire them. Yes, it is necessary to learn the craft by working for another lawyer, but the time will come when you should leave voluntarily.

    Incidentally, I learned I needed new glasses when I couldn't type the captcha words below to prove I wasn't a robot. Robots apprently have better eyesight than I do.
