Legal Commentary

Fast times indeed.... Yes, I will be filing the 2008 Final Report, which I traditionally post the morning after the Yankee' annual collapse, but I'm still processing everything after the 12-hour-plus marathon yesterday. (If it wasn't actually a full-day it sure felt like it). I'm heading back to NYC after a long weekend/mini-vacation, so it will probably be tomorrow sometime.

Meanwhile, let's play catch (up) with the incoming e-mail:

* Mike Arkfeld of Arkfeld & Associates checks in with this interesting report from the United Nations that suggests that the push for "green" could also generate new jobs. But it also contains warnings about potential job perils caused by global warming.

I suspect those are also premises of Thomas Friedman's new book, Hot, Flat & Crowded: Why we need a green revolution and how it can save America"  which is sitting in my computer bag and I plan to dive into on my next flight.

* Amy Juers of Edge Legal Marketing tips us off that David Cowen of The Cowen Group, a New-York based headhunting firm, has just announced that it is expanding its base to serve the legal technology community. Read about it here on Cowen's blog, Opportunity Knocks.

* Catherine McDonagh will be walking on Oct. 11, to honor the memory of her sister, Lynn, who the family lost to suicide. The "Out of Darkness" campaign is organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 411 here.
