    The last several years have seen dramatic changes in the job market for lawyers at every level, and as a result, more fundamental changes to the profession are underway.  The roots of some of these changes predate the recession, but were accelerated by the economic downturn.  Longstanding patterns of lawyer employment have been interrupted not only by the slowdown in economic activity, but also by the globalization of the legal services industry, the growth of both domestic and offshore legal process outsourcers, and the accelerated commoditization of certain kinds of legal work through advances in technology.  This session will examine some of these changes, with a particular focus on the entry-level job market, and will provide an excellent basis for a discussion about why advancement offices need to understand these issues, adapt, and respond.
