Proud to announce The Daily Record's Power 20 Labor & Employment Law list! This is an outstanding group of lawyers who have had to stay up to date on a tremendous number of changes over the past two-plus years. https://t.co/j0QTKxhjfA

@RahChaChow He’s one of a kind. Nice to see he’s still doing his thing.

[Ben Jacobs @bjacobsroch]

@TreeRol I wonder if this was always the plan for the story or if he’s adapted it on account of current events.

[Ben Jacobs @bjacobsroch]

I'm looking forward to moderating our Law Focus First 100 Days webinar tomorrow. We have an expert panel lined up to talk about the possible ways in which the Biden administration could affect the legal landscape. Register here: https://t.co/9cAp27CSeJ

@JonCampbellGAN @Jeopardy I’m actually traveling from upstate NY (or the Finger Lakes) to upstate NY (or the North Country) to hike Whiteface this weekend.

[Ben Jacobs @bjacobsroch]

@TreeRol Whether it’s 270-plus without Pennsylvania or 290-plus with Pennsylvania, Biden really doesn’t want to be relying on PA as the EC margin. That’s the most likely state that could be taken from him by a legal challenge.

[Ben Jacobs @bjacobsroch]

@TreeRol I think the most likely scenario is he ends up at 290. But that scenario probably ISN'T more likely to happen than not. Assuming there are really only five states still in play, there are still a lot of possible final EC totals.

Nice job by @GinoFanelli on this in-depth story on Rochester’s long-awaited skate park. My stepson is getting into skateboarding and is excited to go.

[CITY @roccitymag]

The first public skatepark is opening in Rochester this week. @GinoFanelli got behind the scenes and did a deep dive into the long grind of how skateboarders shredded a 13-year road to make the park a reality. With photos by @maxrocphoto. https://t.co/VVt0ZNRxvC

I want Rochester to be a place that is known for racial understanding. To learn how I can help, I am starting with the 21-Day challenge. Every day, I am going to make a habit of learning more about racial equity. I hope you’ll join me.

If I had a dollar for every time I helped a caller by looking up the phone number of the media organization they meant to call...

@rachbarnhart I’m glad I said something. It was an uncomfortable exchange but hopefully for him too.

Excited for session two of RBJ's Diversity & Inclusion Mastermind Summit to start in about half an hour. Today's session features two panels: recruiting a diverse and inclusive team, and community engagement. #RBJEvents
