- IBA in Madrid: Uria wins plaudits for best party – Law Central – Times Online – WBLG – This is the equivalent of Wachtell having a party at Yankee Stadium.
- R.I.P. Good Times: One Year Later – As bad as things have been for lawyers, we're just a pimple on the tech industry. TechCrunch recounts the past dreadful year, including 300,000+ layoffs in that sector (which actually includes some lawyers)
- The BLT: The Blog of Legal Times : McDermott Will & Emery Sues Client Over Bills – We generally think suing clients over unpaid bills is a bad idea. But we also advocate not letting bills get this big before turning the spigot off. And what was she doing for $150k/mo?
- Len Elmore: NBA, Harvard, D.A. & Dreier – BL sits down with 10-year NBA player Len Elmore who has gone on to an interesting legal career. The site keeps getting interviews with some of the most-interesting people around.
- FTC Tells Amateur Bloggers to Disclose Freebies or Be Fined | Epicenter | Wired.com – This is retarded and never going to work. But just to be safe, and for the record (as we've said before) when we link to books, it's usually through our Amazon affiliate program. We get slightly more than nothing if you buy through that. Other than the review copy of Gods at War, none of you has seen fit to send us anything free, so no conflict issues there. Consider yourselves informed!

Wow, I find it hard to believe that any other sector (except, perhaps, auto manufacturing) could have laid off that many people.
Really, why? IBM, HP and AT&T all employ more people than any of the "Big Three" automakers. Plus, TechCrunch takes a pretty broad view of the tech industry, so it included, for example, a bunch of the law firms that we tracked.
