The Death of the Giant Firm?

Line: 122 to 122
 The only possible flaw in that analysis is if the same factor that destroys big firms does so by democratizing information to such an extent that developing the ability to predict what courts will do becomes attainable to the average person. Then, you wouldn't need a lawyer at all (it would be like if we developed a kangaroo-style pouch, causing the market for bags to plummet).

>		I respond to Christina by saying two things. First, I agree that there is a branding market out there, and that name of where you went to school can open doors for you, but I agree with Adam that this need not always be so. So the question then becomes, what else (besides go to a top school) can we do to to insulate ourselves in job stability and happiness? I think that Eben hit the nail on the head when he said that the key is to learn to be 'flexible' and to be able to do a variety of different things for different clients. There is a great saying that I think expresses this well: "the more you can do, the more you can do". If the 'death of firms' occurs, the pedigree won't matter as much as what you can do for your clients.
