In short, job stability and security is seriously lacking. If you work at a law firm, this can be especially troubling, since getting a high paying job at a large firm is a hard enough task as it is. To do it twice might seem impossible.
Thankfully, it's not. If you're a dedicated worker and always put in 110%, you're likely to keep your job, but even if you don't, there is a world of opportunity waiting for you. Herein lies the problem, however: too many lawyers sit comfortably at law firms. When they find themselves laid off, they're left scrambling to find a new position as quickly as possible. The temptation is to jump at whatever opportunity first presents itself, which means many lawyers wind up in positions that aren't satisfying. They may very well have been able to get a better job if they'd had time to invest in the search, but since they're in a hurry, they jump at the first opportunity.
