Even more on BTI Consulting study--and some new things on unhappy GCs.
Here's the ABA article "In-house Counsel Axing Law Firms". But for the best overall sketch and collection of materials of the the "dissatisfied general counsel" issue I've seen yet, complete with other stats from non-BTI sources, see "Another Failing Grade" by Mark Beese at Leadership for Lawyers. Some of this was new to me. Thanks, Mark.

Blawg Review #73
You gotta admit that the Editor of Blawg Review is at least one American who thinks things through and plans. A White House staff job for this person? Anyway, this week Workplace Prof Blog hosts a special Labor Day Blawg Review #73, as Blawg Review starts a fall line up of academic hosts. Next week's host (September 11) is Global Security Law at Ohio's Case Law. And skipping ahead a bit: October 30 will be Howell-o-ween II. This is getting good.
