Legal Commentary

Jo Haraf, one of my favorite LTN edit board members, has finally done what she has been threatening to do for a bit -- leave legal tech! We are soooooo gonna miss her!

I'll turn over the mic to her:

After 10 exciting and productive years, I'm leaving my home at Morrison & Foerster.  MoFo is a great firm with a fabulous future but it's time for me to turn the page on a new chapter in my career.  First, I plan to spend some time having fun with my family, drinking wine with lunch and having watching the sunset over the San Francisco Bay - probably with another glass of wine just for good measure. 

During my down time, I'm want to give back to my community so my dog and I have signed up for a literacy program where we work as a team assisting children with reading difficulties.  Yes, it is an unusual program but it's a good fit for us.  I'm passionate about improving literacy and he loves children.

With some quiet time, I'll be looking for the sweet intersection of those things I love to do and those things I do well.  I expect to share my passions through writing, professional speaking and returning to my consulting roots.  Many of you know me well, I would value your wisdom on what you think I should include in my next chapter.

I have gained so much from your advice, good humor and occasional sympathies in the past decade.  I owe many thanks to you and LawNet/ILTA for your support of my professional and personal growth.  If I can be of any future service to you, you'll find me at joharaf@comcast.net after March 28.7

Before I leave, a bit of business.  MoFo is looking for a new CIO.  If you would like to live in the San Francisco Bay area (or perhaps NY and you love to fly), please drop me a line.  I will be delighted to present your name to firm management.

All my best to you for the future,
