A straightforward home page gets distracted by an unnecessary scrolling text applet. Not only is it hard to read, but it doesn't convey much information. Why not make it a text link with a link to the full text of the article? We clicked first on recruiting information - and though we generally encourage the use of dates to indicate the currency of information, it can backfire, as it did here. The recruiting information was last updated in August of 1997 - certainly the statistics have changed since then? Compensation? On campus interviews? Next we went to attorney bios. As the page loaded, we were puzzled by the frames layout - and then very upset by the poor choices made on the attorney bio page itself. What first appears to be a picture of the attorney just ends up being a huge image that says "Hopkins & Sutter partner" - which is so wide that the bio no longer fits in the frame. As a result, scroll bars appear to scroll left to right and top to bottom - both of which would be unnecessary if the useless "Hopkins & Sutter partner" image were eliminated. (We viewed the site on an 800x600 monitor; on a 640x480 monitor this would have been absolutely unbearable.) The executive briefings are on good topics, but are terribly dated (one section had two: one from 1996, one from 1995). Worst of all: one link in the navigation bar ("Topic Pages") links to a page that says "Last revised: September 22, 1996."
