Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey.

J&J Heirs Seek Passage of Measure Allowing DNA Testing of Children

As the legislative session ends, heirs of a $350 million Johnson & Johnson trust fund are lobbying heavily for a bill that could bar a potential heir from sharing in the fortune. The legislation, which would allow for DNA testing of children and fathers if the father believes he is not the biological parent, has become snagged in an intraparty tussle: Some Democrats say it has been rewritten to solely benefit some Johnson heirs while others say it merely tries to resolve legal inequities.
