I love rollonfriday's stories but would love to see some statistics for other law firms in the top 100, as it always seems to be this 28-30 firms that are covered. Is there a reason why these particular firms are the only ones covered?

At least one firm * has really done the dirty on their hardworking trainees yet they still make themselves look squeaky clean with a retention rate of more than 80%

Dickinson Dees had the 2nd worst retention in the country last year. Now they have the worst (equal).

Surely with that track record they deserve last place on the table?
