Date: February 8th, 2010 7:57 PM Author: ruby hall partner this is true, which is why secondary journals don't provide the same signal to law firms about capacity to pursue hours of mind numbing work. they usually put out fewer issues, each with fewer articles, and with a less rigorous selection and editing process. end result, much less work.
