Bailout the Lawyers!

One lawyer’s argument for bailing out big law firms:

After all, think of all the people we affect: our young associates marry and live in condominiums in urban centers. We probably support Starbucks. Allen Edmonds is toast. … Think of all those poor guys in Scotland who will not be able to sell their single malt whiskeys. It would be a global crisis of unimaginable proportions if one or two of the AmLaw 100 were to fail.
