Do you work at a law firm and still have a job this week?

"Six prominent firms sent packing more than 700 attorneys and legal staffers, in what may well become known as Black Thursday in the legal industry. DLA Piper; Holland & Knight; Goodwin Procter; Bryan Cave; Epstein Becker & Green; and Dechert all confirmed layoffs on Thursday (2/12/09), adding to what has become a brutal contraction of legal jobs. Faegre & Benson also confirmed on Thursday that it initiated layoffs on Wednesday, while Cozen O'Connor confirmed that it let go of staffers on Tuesday."
