And now for something new and different

I spent a good hunk of my week drafting proposed legislation. And, yes, I'm geeky enough to think that's cool. This is not something that I have previously done, or even anticipated doing, in my legal career, but I actually like it and am getting great insight into the political system.

My firm serves a niche industry and we are general counsel for a couple of trade groups in that industry. Therefore, we get first stab at modifying legislation to benefit our clients. Then we submit it to competing trade groups to try to come to an agreement before sending it to our sponsoring legislator to be hashed out again by the politicians.

Big Boss told me that I would be the second chair on this project as we negotiate and redraft in preparation for the next legislative session. I'm psyched!
