The shattering events of January 6 in Washington painfully reminded me: terror can appear on very short notice!

The number of law school applicants with top (175-180) LSAT scores has doubled over last year. You don't suppose 1st-year associate starting salaries zooming past $200,000 has anything to do with that, do you?

My own experiences over the years of being a client mirror this. A couple have been flawless; alas, these are the exceptions.

Over on Medium, I've posted a brief provocation paper I circulated privately some weeks ago. peterdlederer.medium.com/?p=….
It touches on practice-ready, T-shaped, mass distance learning for law--and points in between!
Comments and reactions are welcome!

For many who have powerful ties with more than one country the ability to spend time in both is essential. To be deprived of it may be much like losing a limb.

I met a Japanese woman who normally go to Japan every year and is now so frustrated with Australia’s international border closures that she is considering just going back. I am beginning to think the same.

Much of the world is realizing that many things the pandemic has forced on us hold rich benefit. The full beneficial impact of working remotely has yet to be felt.

Do we regard the fact that Zoom makes it easy to hold meetings as a bug or feature?
(An issue popped up late Wed on a committee that I chair. A few emails, a four-person Zoom yesterday afternoon, and, boom, decision made. A better process than audio and faster than in-person.)

Hey @ConsumerReports, for 50 years I've been a member and supporter. Each year, I am bombarded with repeated renewal requests. Never do these show me my far-off expiration date.
That's misleading--and shameful for a consumer organization.
Reason to leave you? Damn near!

I have been impressed by the fact that it is the state supreme court justices who have repeatedly taken the lead in seeking reform.
The organized bar, the law schools, practicing lawyers? Nah, not so much.

If we are going to require a Bar Exam then the absolute least we can do is ensure that the software required to take the Bar Exam works. #BarExam2021 #law #lawyers

My daughter spotted this odd insect sipping nectar at our butterfly bush. We're guessing it's a macroglossum -- a hummingbird hawk-moth. Never seen one here in Connecticut before.

What a foundationally wise piece! Clip it, and read it repeatedly until you have totally absorbed the lesson.
And the tale stars all my heroes!!!👍👍👍👍

What if I told you improving productivity from 1 contract per hour (“cph”) to 2 cph (2x, 1 cph) saves more time than improving from 2 cph to 50 cph (25x, 48 cph)?
