Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day.
There basically aren't limits on what an associate can be asked to do, as long as it's legal. It seems like a situation ripe for unionizing, but I don't see it happening.
-- Kate Reder Sheikh, a legal recruiter in the associate practice group at Major, Lindsey & Africa, in comments given to Bloomberg Law on the likelihood that Biglaw associates will decide to unionize. Last month, associates at Outten & Golden formed a union and the firm formally recognized it.
