Don’t take your results too seriously. Notice how in the two different pictures I used, there were no overlapping matches!
Introducing a new place to vent for the families of attorneys! I started this blog today, and I hope it will be a good place for people in my situation to get together, laugh, cry, and compare notes. I have had a few people take particular interest in my posts regarding firm life, and [...]
