All the talks about associate pay and work hours but I don’t see anyone talking about the training phase? Wouldn’t that be a barrier for aspiring lawyers and the retention of talent? Correct me if I’m wrong, the pay for trainees are the same as it were 10-15 years ago. There are even people not paying trainees. Why isn’t this an issue to be addressed? Surely being paid 10 cents on the dollar, while being worked equally hard, will affect one’s mindset in staying in the industry.
