Law School Applications Trend: Way Down
Interesting, surprising and probably very good news in the WSJ Law Blog from a New York Times piece today on the decline in law school admission applications--and possible reasons. There's a great zen-like quote from David E. Kelley, lawyer-turned-writer and producer of shows like Boston Legal, on why it's actually useful to have more lawyers out there to keep the applications down.

Back to Work, WJC Phone Home and Searching for Tattoos.
No practice tips today. Interesting IP disputes at work I was asked to help on are draining the how-to-lawyer evangelist in me. My limited blog time is spent wondering (see Patrick Lamb's branding post yesterday about some really serious branding) if a GC or client rep indeed ever went completely around the bend--or more likely stayed way too late at Nathan's in Georgetown or The Irish Times on Capitol Hill--and had tattooed "I [heart] Hull McGuire PC for all my tax, litigation, environmental and IP needs". And no word from WJC on the January 27 help-wanted ad and "invitation to deal" for an of-counsel position. We are testing the blogosphere on this one--and may need another assist from Peter Lattman's heavily-visited WSJ Law Blog, assuming he's still game. But as WJC knows or should know that he might run into me at a future Renaissance weekend smaller and more intimate than the one we met at on January 1, or that I might be involved in fund-raising for a relative in 2008, I thought maybe he'd ring us in Pittsburgh or San Diego by now.
