Now that I’m back at my own desk and can look through the blogs more thoroughly, some goodies I missed:
Bush signed GINA. I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the bipartisan support for this bill, which seems like it might cost employers money down the road when they make potentially discriminatory decisions based on employees’ […]
(That title mangles a phrase from author Anthony Burgess.)
The California Blog of Appeal just caught my eye with a post on a new Ninth Circuit decision on “don’t ask, don’t tell” in Witt v. Dept. of the Air Force, case no. 06-35644 (9th Cir. May 21, 2008). I shan’t try to repeat his analysis, […]
Shortly after I made that last update, I got a notice that an article of mine has been published. “Lending Lawyers: Secondments Gaining Popularity” will be printed in GC California’s June issue, but it went online today. In addition to thanking the editor there, I must thank the sources who generously gave me some of […]
A blog post from Prof. Eric Goldman at the Technology & Marketing Law blog caught my eye yesterday. The professor was blogging on everyone’s favorite Internet law, 47 USC 230, which may or may not shield Web sites and other online platforms from liability for the bad behavior of their users.

I am on site with a client today and shouldn’t really be blogging, but I just had to stop in quickly to share the news: The Supreme Court of California has decided in favor of same-sex marriage.
I decided when I started this blog to try to keep politics out of it, but I can’t […]
I just wrapped up a project writing some Web pages for a law firm that wanted a page on wrongful termination (in most states, that’s firing someone in violation of public policy). In listing the various types of discrimination that make a wrongful termination, I realized that I had just read something about Congress passing […]
Jordan Furlong of the blog Law21 caught my eye with a post from Friday about law firm newsletters. Entitled “Burn your newsletters,” the post says law firm newsletters (and blogs) aren’t that useful or interesting:
The necessity and effectiveness of law firm newsletters have been long overrated. Partly this is because the content is written by […]
Thanks to Greg May of the California Blog of Appeal for pointing out that a short piece of mine has finally made it into print in California Lawyer magazine. The piece, “Debate Heats Up Over Unpublished Opinions,” looks at the movement to publish more opinions in California state appeals courts, in the context of a […]
