Help With complex join

Hi all, got a question as how to approach a somewhat complicated join
query.  The deal is I have three tables called attorney, lawOffice, and
law_office_employment.  The attorney and lawOffice tables hold attorney
and lawOffice information respectively (obviously).  The
law_office_employment table is meant to show historical periods of time
for which the attorney's worked for the different lawOffices.  Here is
the create table statement for law_office_employment:

/*==============================================================*/
/* Table: LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT                                 */
/*==============================================================*/
create table LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT (
ATTORNEYID           IDENTIFIER           not null,
LAWOFFICEID          IDENTIFIER           not null,
STARTDATE            DATE                 not null,
constraint PK_LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT primary key (ATTORNEYID,
LAWOFFICEID, STARTDATE)
);

/*==============================================================*/
/* Index: LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT_PK                              */
/*==============================================================*/
create unique index LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT_PK on LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT (
ATTORNEYID,
LAWOFFICEID,
STARTDATE
);

/*==============================================================*/
/* Index: RELATION_46_FK                                        */
/*==============================================================*/
create  index RELATION_46_FK on LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT (
ATTORNEYID
);

/*==============================================================*/
/* Index: RELATION_48_FK                                        */
/*==============================================================*/
create  index RELATION_48_FK on LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT (
LAWOFFICEID
);

alter table LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT  add constraint FK_LAW_OFFI_RELATION__ATTORNEY foreign key
(ATTORNEYID)     references ATTORNEY (ATTORNEYID)     on delete restrict on update restrict;

alter table LAW_OFFICE_EMPLOYMENT  add constraint FK_LAW_OFFI_RELATION__LAW_OFFI foreign key
(LAWOFFICEID)     references LAWOFFICE (LAWOFFICEID)     on delete restrict on update restrict;



I can populate the law_office_employment so that it looks like this:
attorneyid | lawofficeid | startdate
------------+-------------+------------         1 |           1 | 2002-01-01         1 |           2 | 2002-02-01
 1 |           1 | 2002-03-01         1 |           3 | 2002-04-01
 


My question is how to make a query that will display the PERIODS of
time for which an attorney worked for a particular office based on the
attorney then changing to a new law office and having the endDate of
the previous employment be the startDate of the new employment.  I know
it sounds confusing but as an example I will show you what I would want
the query to return based on the information populated above.

attorneyid | lawofficeid | startdate  | enddate
------------+-------------+------------+-----------         1 |           1 | 2002-01-01 | 2002-02-01         1 |
   2 | 2002-02-01 | 2002-03-01         1 |           1 | 2002-03-01 | 2002-04-01         1 |           3 | 2002-04-01 |

I am pretty sure it involves joining the table with itself to cet the
cartesian product of all of the rows but I am at a loss for how to
construct the interval logic.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
