&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trial-by-fire training has its drawbacks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today&amp;rsquo;s Legal Times Blog reports that an appeals court has ruled that a former Reed Smith associate&amp;rsquo;s wrongful termination suit against the firm can proceed:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A former Reed Smith associate in Washington who alleged wrongful termination against the firm won a victory today in the D.C. Court of Appeals, which reversed the dismissal of the suit and remanded the case for trial in Superior Court.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former associate, Danielle Cesarano, who now works at the State Department, filed a complaint against Reed Smith in October 2003. Cesarano, who is represented by Webster, Fredrickson, Correia &amp;amp; Puth, had complained internally earlier that the firm was not providing her reasonable accommodation for a physiological disorder she developed after burning her dominant hand in 2001 at a Reed Smith trial training program.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have just one question: What kind of training program does Reed Smith run? Associates often complain that their firm&amp;rsquo;s training style is &amp;ldquo;sink or swim&amp;rdquo; or &amp;ldquo;trial by fire,&amp;rdquo; but I always assumed it was just a figure of speech...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;- posted by vera&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;lawyers prepare for battle&lt;br&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;lawyers&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/vera_vault/folders/Jing/media/380423d6-8030-4b8d-8308-9688d154e95b/2010-03-04_1454.png&quot; battle=&quot;&quot; for=&quot;&quot; training=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;239&quot; height=&quot;163&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;AP Photo/Dave Duprey&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
