Just about every day we’re seeing more news about law firm or legal department layoffs. As firms reconsider their business structure and models, we’re curious if individual lawyers are also taking this time to reassess.

ABA Journal reporter Rachel Zahorsky is hearing from some BigLaw escapees that going solo was the answer for them.

This made us wonder…

If you could, would you become your own boss? Or are you more comfortable with the structure and support of a firm?

Read last week’s question and answers about Obama’s first priority in office.

Our favorite answer from last week:

Posted by Dennis Juncer: “The list of what he should do is a lot longer that the one thing he shouldn’t do. He should not bring Chicago politics to Washington. (Punish your enemies and reward your friends.)

He should not listen to the leftist extremists who want to label everything Bush did as bad, and ignore the far right extremists who are going to criticize every thing he does because he did it.

He made uniting us a centerpiece of his campaign. He needs to live up to that.”
