In Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, there is an article entitled The email that roared:
The strange tale of a much-forwarded email chain describing “Lawyers behaving badly.” The article describes an email exchange between a young lawyer applying for a job, and the attorney who nearly hired her.

The exhange is now famous.

In short, the attorney applied for a job, was offered the position and she accepted it. Then, the hiring attorney changed his mind about the salary he offered, and the young attorney declined the offer.

Easy enough, right? Wrong. This was just the beginning. What happened next was an email conversation that has become a very popular “viral” email in the close-knit legal community. Read the article here. The original emails have been preserved here.
