Graduating in the time of down-markets.

Canada as light years ahead. See "Graduating Into A Recession" at Jordan Furlong's Law21. And see the always-superior and client-centric CBA Practice Link of the Canadian Bar Association.

Clients and customers.

All we know so far on keeping them is here. No, we're not experts. But we think about clients, and our clients' customers, 24/7. If you are in business, that's all there is to think about.

La Vie Parisienne: Spring 2009 in the U.S.

In the middle of a recession, Americans live in a nation where work slowly goes out of style, European statism is at least a short-term reality, and many of our citizens are now ample enough to have their own Zip Codes.

What's the Deal? Where's the Moxie? Whither goest our self-respect?

Holden Oliver (2007-2009): Done, out, onward.

As planned, and dreaded, "old" law student Holden Oliver, a WAC? co-blogger, is leaving us. He graduates, takes a bar exam, and takes his "outfit" (his term) to Europe for a year. And then? Well, he's not sure. But the guy sure has options: journalism, law, maybe both. Some of us see him in politics. (He doesn't.) In addition to being a fine (and fast) writer, Holden's unusually well-read, and leading a down-East life that's "on purpose and examined".

The only serious Libertarian I've ever liked, he's taught me, and Tom Welshonce, the real brains behind What About Clients?, much. We're sorry, sir, that we killed you off the last couple of years on April 1. But we were insanely jealous of your easy charm with everyone, and every thing. You could be arrogant and droll and funny all at once; yet you still enriched our lives beyond our capacity to ever repay you.
