A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Today we're looking at whether law firms are prepared for the increase in associates who even before arriving at their firms have been dealing with mental health issues. We're also looking at the persistence of the billable hour in the face of AI-driven legal tech that could cut lawyers' hours. And with the U.S. Presidential election just 10 days away, we tell you which law firm leaders and partners are giving money to which Presidential candidate.
