There has been no shortage of news about the anemic job market for lawyers, but shouldn't it be improving now that "the recession is behind us?" The truth is that the recession ushered in dramatic and lasting changes to the job market for lawyers at every level. How do these fundamental changes in the legal industry impact and affect law firm student recruitment?
