TN: piping hot turnover

Been there. From the Shelbyville Times-Gazette:

Public Defenders office loses two attorneys

Two of the five public defenders here and three adjoining counties will be newly-hired attorneys this spring as an experienced lawyer has retired and the newest at that office got married and is making a new home in Nashville.

Faced with the prospect of losing 40 percent of the lawyers in her office, Public Defender Donna Hargrove suddenly became a one-woman human resources director looking for attorneys to fill open positions at an overworked office.

Such a significant percent change in the number of public defenders is important to the general public because it means fewer lawyers would be available to represent indigents...

The mathematical logic behind that last sentence is unassailable.
