The collective noun for a group of lawyers from that permanently yearning silver circle law firm, Simmons & Simmons. After the collective noun for a large bunch of in-flight co-ordinating starlings.
Though it implies a rather unimaginative hive mind — albeit one making strangely beautiful, alien, but ultimately meaningless metamorphoses — those in such a murmuration — each one we may call a “starling” —should not complain, seeing as it was their idea in the first place.
