I have always found it odd that many lawyers claim to be “experienced” simply based on how long ago they graduated law school. Some lawyers even take this one step further touting “combined experience” by adding together all the time elapsed since graduation of every attorney at the firm.

Experience should be measured by what an attorney has accomplished since graduation, not when he or she graduated. Prior to starting my own law firm, I served for...
