For this last, at least for now, of the three posts I envisioned to talk about the important aspects of the Oregon State Bar Futures Task Force, I want to talk about the piece I’ve not really said anything about to date – the recommendations of the Innovations Committee of that Futures Task Force. As […]

For those that missed my post earlier this week on the release of the Oregon State Bar Futures Task Force report, you can read that post here and get caught up. Today, I want to offer some thoughts on one of the three Recommendations made by the Regulatory Committee of the Futures Task Force. It […]

The focus of the Spring 2017 issue is “Evolving Legal Markets” and, although the authorship is Tennessee-heavy, I think you will find all the articles to be […]

I have written in the past about the APRL white papers providing the rationale for, and data supporting the need to, reform the way lawyer advertising is regulated in the United States by state bar entities. You can read those prior posts here and here if you are so inclined. Jayne Reardon, the Executive Director […]
Two weeks ago, I wrote a little something about angles and issues when lawyers function as whistleblowers. It is now a bit late on Friday, but, by way of follow-up, it does seem worthy of note that on Monday the jury in the case of the ex-GC of Bio-Rad claiming whistleblower status awarded him almost […]
