Things like these exemplify the regressive & exploitative nature of the legal profession. Law TC pay has not increased in the past 2 decades.

Trainees and juniors are constantly gaslit with tripe about how this is an honourable profession and its a privilege to practice law and we should all suck it up. Which is clearly an excuse for the partners to pay peanuts while squeezing the most out of their employees to fund their condos, landed houses and cars.
