Rankings, rankings - law firms just love their rankings. The latest is the American Lawyer's 2007 A-List, which rates firms based on moneymaking capabilities, as well as more touchy-feely areas such as pro bono work, diversity, and associate satisfaction. In third place is L.A.'s Munger, Tolles, with several firms in the top-20 have a big local presence - among them Lathan & Watkins and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Tops on the list is Debevoise & Plimpton, followed by Weil, Gotshal (both based in NY). Does any of this really matter? Not according to most of the comments on the WSJ's Law Blog.
