According to a new survey, lawyers think their law firms are really tolerant of jerks<\/a>. Are they right about that, or just overly sensitive? The DC Bar election ended in a blowout<\/a>, but why? <\/p>\n

In fact, the right-wing fear of strong bar associations has gotten so serious that the Florida supreme court actively kneecapped their state bar<\/a>. <\/p>\n
