And remember, these babes-in-arms — armed babies, at any rate — are [[Charge-out rate|charged out]], from the moment they put down their joss-sticks and hacky-sacks and climb into the power-suit, at ''five hundred bucks an hour''. And they know ''nothing''. Their work is thus triple-checked by some slightly older cherub who is paid ''nine'' hundred bucks an hour and knows barely any more. You are paying an effective rate of sixteen hundred bucks an hour a kid you wouldn’t trust to look after your car. | And remember, these babes-in-arms — armed babies, at any rate — are [[Charge-out rate|charged out]], from the moment they put down their joss-sticks and hacky-sacks and climb into the power-suit, at ''five hundred bucks an hour''.

It was, as we old lags are prone to say, ever thus. Our [[Libtard|liberal metropolitan mores]] may wax and wane, but ever thus it will ''remain''. The career path of commercial lawyering is not, never has been, and never will be, for milksops. Those who have clambered over enough scuffling bodies to earn a [[big law]] training contract has, we presume, a deliberative faculty, and options, even in a tight labour market. If you don’t like it, find something else to do. You’ll cope. | |||
