Letter of Resignation

What many Big Law attorneys want to say, but never would-- unless they're leaving law:

I loved this letter. I read some of the comments on the original post and thought I would answer one of them here. The post asked how anyone could not understand what they were getting into and where had they been for 2 summers? I'll tell you! They were being courted by a big firm. Come to this party, bring the wife. Here are tickets for a concert, bring the wife. We're having a barbecue at my home, which is big beautiful and surrounded by luxury cars. My wife will be there dripping in jewels and the kids will be well groomed and play their violins. They don't tell you this is wife #3 and the kids live with wife #2 most of the year or that the 15 year old is in drug rehab and hates his dad because he is never around. And...once you are employed there is no more, bring the wife. It's we're going to this great hotel for a weekend retreat but we'll be busy so leave the wife at home. In short summer internships are far from reality.
