While we generally discourage the use of frames (the benefit - improved navigation, is often outweighed by the drawback - dramatic decrease in screen real estate), there are some occasions where they are relatively inconspicuous, improve your ability to navigate a site, and offer a graphically consistent site presentation you might otherwise lack. This is not one of those sites: the text-based navigation bar on the left is far to wide, and one of the reasons to use frames (you only load the data that changes - i.e., the content window, while the navigation frame is cached) is defeated here, as each click causes the navigation frame to reload as well. We like the sections of the site, but question the decisions that must have been made as you get further in the site. For instance: if someone has expressed an interest in news (by clicking on "Firm News"), why should they then have to decide between "Press Releases", "General News", "Individual News", or "Recent Matters of Interest"? Why not simplify the page by eliminating some of these apparently arbitrary classifications and eliminate a click or two in the process? (After all - what seems like organization to the firm is really just more work for the users. And if anything, a good site should be the other way around.)
