As I like to say to my colleagues, making partner at a law firm is no longer the guaranteed “tenured-like” position. 
In the not so distant past, if an associate was able to make partner and through the good-old-boy network find some sizeable clients, he could count on sitting back and enjoying the fruits of
I was reading a Fast Company article, Universities Inc. by Anya Kamenetz, and wondered when is the online law school coming? Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE and the man with the golden touch, will be acquiring–for a mere $2M– a 12% piece of the Chancellor University System LLC, a part of the nearly
Sitting here reflecting on the week in news, I am pondering the oncoming new technology: 3D TV.
I must ask: do we really need this?

I think I can speak for all 3 of us when I say, “Thanks, ABA, for recognizing we 3 Geeks and A Law Blog in its Third Annual ABA Journal Blawg 100.” And a big thanks to all of our readers, commenters and followers. Every time someone interacts with us, we each get a
