Frustration among lawyers at 'epidemic' levels, claims Keystone founder

Oh, I think frustration is just the tip of the iceberg. Add to that exhaustion, demoralisation, stress and burnout and you'll get a more rounded picture. When I work with stressed out lawyers, they tell me tales of nothing short of crushing brutality. It's not that I am a shrinking violet when it comes to the corporate world. I know it's all about the money, stupid, and that's just fine. But those are real human beings making that money and they have certain minimum requirements to make it worth their while and being treated with common humanity is one of them. What the big firms need to realise is that when you leave people with nothing to lose, you put yourself in a vulnerable position. James Knight's initiative is perhaps just one sign of this.
