Yesterday, White & Case let go of 400 people.  200 associates were laid off, and if you can’t do the math, 200 staff were also given the boot.  But the firm will play it fair and will actually be evaluating and later dumping partners as well.  And, the firm has stated that about 60 percent of incoming associates will be asked to wait until 2010 to officially join the firm.
