Neil Shapiro practiced law for 30 years in big firms. He eventually decided that life there was increasingly unbearable, and moved to a better place. He writes about his move here. I worked at the same Big Firm that Neil recently left for several years before coming to the same conclusion he did (a couple of years before him). No offense to that particular firm, but he is right that things have changed for the worse. Not just at that firm (which is probably better than most), but at Big Law in general. I say: Tune in, turn on, drop out! Greed is dead. This profession used to be a great way to earn a comfortable living doing something you loved and could be proud of. Whatever happened to that?
