I’m back in the Seattle office and beyond excited about it. Okay, I’m not going to do the random and rambling personal intro today. We have some really interesting and odd posts today. Exotic dancers and employment law? We have that. Another great ‘Bubba’ post? Yup. We also have a solid post on Toyota creating a… Continue Reading

Seize the moment lawyers
I was chatting with a young lawyer last week about starting a blog focused on special education law. A blog to help parents who felt they did not have a voice in getting their children with special needs the programs and resources they needed from their school district. And better yet, his passion for the… Continue Reading
LexBlog Law Network Roundup
Well, today is likely my last day in Missoula, MT as I’ll be back in the Seattle office full-time on Monday. As I’ve mentioned many times before, Missoula is an incredible place and if you have a son or daughter looking around for a truly great and unique school, the University of Montana would be… Continue Reading

LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/27/09
I’ll be honest, I’m a big fan of posts that give a legal perspective on sports—or even a sports perspective on the legal realm—and usually end up featuring those. Today was a good day, we have two such posts. Enjoy the evening everyone, I’m off to one last baseball game in Missoula. Seventh Circuit Upholds… Continue Reading
LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/26/09
Although it shouldn’t be too surprising, I always find it interesting how almost anything can in some way be tied to employment law. Today, Dan Schwartz has a post on how workplaces should prepare for hurricane season. Also worth reading: a post with individuals from The Shriver Center responding to the death of Senator Kennedy. What’s Going… Continue Reading

For a unique take on intellectual property law issues, look no further than DuetsBlog, from the Minneapolis firm Winthrop & Weinstine.

"A common business mantra heard… Continue Reading
LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/25/09
Today we have a rather odd collection of blog posts. I’m not sure where else you’d find content on zombie attacks, Courtney Love and an open letter to President Obama on wine. Yes, today is certainly an interesting day. Enjoy the evening everyone, I’m off for a run and then some late-summer minor league baseball. The losing streak… Continue Reading
LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/24/09
Well, I am finally back after a two week break that included an 0-4 baseball road trip and upwards of 3,000 miles worth of driving. Yeah, the Cubs are 8 games back in the division; it’s about time to change the banner on this blog back to Lambeau Field. I hope everyone had a relatively painless… Continue Reading

In Washington DC this week : Anyone want to get together?
I’ll be in Washington DC this week attending the Annual Conference for ILTA (International Legal Technology Association).

LexBlog Law Network Roundup 8/20/2009
On days like today it’s difficult to limit myself to just ten posts for our daily roundup. Kate Bladow posed the interesting question of whether or not blogging can fulfill a lawyer’s yearly pro bono requirement. A New York State Supreme Court judge recently ordered Google to reveal the identity of a blogger who had… Continue Reading
Twitter for Client Development: LexBlog Client Webinar

LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 8/19/2009
Usually, employment law is not something that I gravitate towards when reading through articles and blogs. Today, both of my favorite posts discuss such issues. Russell Cawyer had some interesting thoughts about the recent lawsuits involving overtime compensation and the rising use of smart phones in the workplace. Mark Tabakman’s post also discussed overtime and… Continue Reading
