- Nicole Black won the Shorty Award for best law Twitter-er. Now that we know about it, we plan to win the award next year. Follow us: @lawshucks.
- Bitter Lawyer has a great analysis of the fond connections between lawyers and hookers.
- TechCrunch has hit 300,000 layoffs on its tech industry layoff tracker – the progenitor of ours. Wilson Sonsini makes both lists.
- Carl Icahn’s latest screed, Corporate Boards that Do Their Job, has been published in the WaPo. As usual, no director is safe.
- 4 senior executives at Research in Motion have settled SEC backdating charges for $1.4 million in fines and disgorgement of $840,000.
- Former AG Michael Mukasey is joining Mary Jo White at Debevoise. WSJ Law Blog has a very short interview.
Eventually we’ll get everything the way we want it, but for now, it’s coming in dribs and drabs. Consider this v1.6 of the layoff tracker. The monthly charts for January and February of this year have been updated to the new format – separate columns for total, attorneys only, and staff only. Hover your mouse over any column or key to get additional information.
More importantly, you can now sort the raw data however you like (by firm name, by date, by total, by source, whatever). Information about offices and practice areas affected is also provided. Unfortunately, you can no longer click directly on the link to the source (which is going to kill our google pagerank, but we thought you’d prefer the increased functionality).
