Just like I promised last week, it’s December and time for my annual list of top legal blogs for in-house counsel! This is one of my favorite “Ten Things” blogs to write because it gives me a chance to recognize some of the best legal writers out there today. It also means that the year […]
[Don’t forget to vote for “Ten Things” as your favorite legal blog. To vote, simply click here.] Well, it’s near the end of 2018 and time for my annual list of the best legal blogs for in-house counsel. This is my fourth list, a tradition starting in 2015. In case you’re curious, here are my […]
First, I want to wish everyone all the best for the holiday season and for a safe and prosperous 2016. Second, I thought I would keep this edition of “Ten Things” on the lighter side and, hopefully, on the less wordy side too — especially after last week’s missive on becoming general counsel. Back when […]
Well, it’s time for the last “Ten Things” blog of 2019. It’s been a pretty good year for the blog: it passed five years of “bloggership” and is approaching 4,000 subscribers, it was named one of the Top Thirty Legal Blogs by SimplyLegal, the post on “How to Read a Contract” was the most popular […]
When I first started writing this blog back in November 2014, I had no idea what I was doing. While some might say I still don’t (thanks, Mom!), I have gotten better at it. This blog now has over 2,400 followers – which still amazes me – and I sometimes pause for a moment to […]

Hi everyone! I hope you are either knee-deep in or getting ready for a wonderful holiday season. I know that I promised that my next post would be the annual best legal blogs edition but I decided to take a short detour (which I get to do because it’s my blog). I promise that before […]
Greetings from hot, humid Dallas, Texas where I am “sweltering in place” as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wear out its welcome. It’s so hot and icky here that apparently Satan – on a vacation visit – said, “Screw it, I’m heading back to Hell where it’s cooler!” Those may not actually be his exact […]
There is a great episode of the old TV series The Twilight Zone where Burgess Meredith (The Penguin on TV’s Batman/”Mick” in the Rocky films) finds out he is the last man on earth, having survived a nuclear bomb explosion while reading in the vault of the bank where he works. Not only is he […]
Welcome back, everyone! I hope your holidays were joyful and restful (and COVID-free). I was able to make a bit of a dent in the next book, so the ABA goons are leaving me alone… for now. I did have some time to squeeze in the first “Ten Things” blog of 2021. As usual, and […]
