It's not like any law firm has a good reputation - maybe a reputation for doing solid work, but not a reputation for being a good guy. Why this massive BIGLaw obsession with illusion?

Apparently, some are not. But along with the fashion business, the advertising world has been holding bogus "go-sees" for years. Bored art directors and copywriters call in freelance sheep (unsuspecting photographers and commercial artists, or their agents) and string them along on projects that do not even exist. They will borrow the portfolios overnight ("to show the client") and then make copies of the sheep's best work. Next thing you know, the sheep's portfolio samples are mocked up for client ads. Law firms are just late to this game. Many fashion go-sees are legit. Apparently, some are not. But along with the fashion business, the advertising world has been holding bogus "go-sees" for years.
