I am honored to be a Legal Rebel

By Patrick J. Lamb

The ABA's Legal Rebels project was launched yesterday.  Here's the description of the project:

The legal profession is not just struggling through a recession, but also undergoing a structural break with the past. There is a growing consensus that the profession that emerges from the recession will be different in fundamental ways from the one that entered it.

Dozens of lawyers nationwide aren't waiting for change. Day by day, they're remaking their corners of the profession. These mavericks are finding new ways to practice law, represent their clients, adjudicate cases and train the next generation of lawyers. Most are leveraging the power of the Internet to help them work better, faster and different.

The Legal Rebels project will profile these innovators and describe the changes they are making. It will tell their stories in the ABA Journal, on this website and through a variety of social media channels using text, pictures, audio and video. The first of these profiles will appear here on August 25. Several will be added weekly through the end of November.

I am honored to have been featured as a Legal Rebel in the story Patrick Lamb: a betting man.  My great thanks to Rachel Zahorsky and her editors and Callie Lipkin, the photographer.  All of you have made me look and sound better than I am, I am profoundly thankful.

I would be remiss not to acknowledge the others featured on the first day's releases as well as those who will appear at later dates.  I am thrilled to be included in your company.
