Contract Work Evolves with Times


This is a decent article about the evolution of contract work from Georgia's Daily Report.
"That stereotype is changing as temporary attorneys become a permanent part of the legal landscape.
As the billing rates for expensive young associates skyrocket and the number of documents to be reviewed on big mergers and class actions has exploded into the millions, firms routinely use cheaper contract attorneys for legal grunt work.
But an increasing number of lawyers working on contract are experienced attorneys who've traded partnership aspirations for a more manageable work life."
