New Gig: American Lawyer 'Dicta' Column

I recently added to my hodgepodge of current professional pursuits by becoming a semi-irregular contributor to The American Lawyer. My first column is called On Life Support. On the point about the ABA considering 1,300 hours a full time billable year in 1963, I asked Joan Williams in our background interview if there was any sort of comparable baseline today. Loved her response: "They wouldn't touch that one with a 10-foot pole."

Responses:

• Jordan Furlong, There's no such thing as work/life balance


• Robert Ambrogi, Work-Life Balance and the Space-Time Continuum


• Scott Greenfield, Work-Life Balance or Professionalism: Who Wins?

April Fool?

Spotted in the Home Depot parking lot. Manager's, maybe? (Makeshift car cover? No glove, no love?)

[Update:] Maybe George Wallace's April Fool's Blawg Appendix 2008 will be able to figure it out.
