SUMMER ASSOCIATES, KEEP READING . . . From Legal Blog Watch, "Roundup of Advice for Summer and Permanent Associates"--

Summer may be here, but school isn't out for law students by a long shot. As summer associates, law students still have plenty to learn about marketing, the business of law and the importance of feedback.  Fortunately, an abundance of experts are willing to share their knowledge online.

Read the full post for links to the advice. And for summer associates who want even more, here's my advice: have your bosses read this post from the Illinois Trial Practice Weblog, "Giving Legal Research Assignments to Others."

Two Reports from Mexico City: Report 2

To repeat from the last post, last week, my wife and law partner, Andrea Lamere, and I were in Mexico City for seven days. Follow the continuation below if you're interested in reading a duplicate of the second report I wrote and posted on the (private) weblog I share with my extended family. (Photos, too. I also took a trip to Mexico City last year with my daughter Lydia; photos and post here).
