Ashby Jones, the lead writer for the Wall Street Journal's online Law Blog, who has covered the legal and business world for over a decade, responds, "we nearly signed up to take the Colorado bar exam after reading Susan Beck's piece&.Near the end of an eloquent but scathing screed against the law firms she covers - the 200 largest in the country - she switches gears, and heaps a whole lotta love on Holland & Hart."
