The tournament of lawyers.

Ideas

Promotion-to-partner tournament. With Thomas Palay, an account of large law firms' growth through an up-or-out contest among associates for partnership. Caveat: Only short passages of the book were read, not the whole of it.

In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
