The American Lawyer published its annual A-List last week, and the occasion was not overlooked by the Wall St. Journal's Legal Blog, where reporter Ashby Jones (formerly a reporter at American Lawyer) quoted Ross Todd, who authored the A-List story on Patterson, Belknap: "The A-List isn't just a report card on firm statistics. It's a measure of how well firms balance moneymaking with the priorities of service and collegiality that used to distinguish the legal profession." With that, Jones opened the floor, or the blog, for discussion, asking: Law students, associates, recruiters, we're curious: Has AmLaw's A-List changed your conception of what the "top firms" are?
