Very interesting presentation on the implications for Dobbs on the health care system to the Oregon bar by @erin_bbs @BBS_LLP

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

Our bar associations continue to disappoint.

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

Awful. Barry Jones, one of the death row prisoners in this case, is likely innocent. He was able to show that his post-conviction attorney failed to uncover evidence of his innocence. The court ruled that it doesn’t matter. Just utterly illogical, immoral, and unjust.

Good customer service experiences are hard to come by. Great ones are even more rare. Had a really great experience with Mary @AlaskaAir MVP line today. Very helpful, but was also a real person who cared. People like that help companies and brands way more than they get credit 4

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

A great result in this case.

Honored that @BBS_LLP had the chance to again partner with @CompAndChoices on a groundbreaking case further protecting the constitutional rights of terminally ill patients.

Filed this today (https://t.co/0TJoriqzAh)

The lawsuit could have broad implications as the first challenge in the nation to raise the question of whether such residency requirements are constitutional, according to legal experts. https://t.co/APl9JGFla6

The whole thread below. Very proud of my colleagues for their ongoing and passionate defense of reproductive freedom. @erin_bbs

[Erin Bernstein @erin_bbs]

BBS is honored to have supported @public_rights, @austintexasgov, and over 30 local governments in filing a brief with SCOTUS in support of abortion rights and against Texas’ #SB8 law.

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

We celebrated BBS's first bday by hiring our first new attorney. We couldn't be more excited to have Gina on the team.

The Business of Law (as opposed to Business Law, which is something else) should be a required law school course for anyone who wants to go into private practice.

For too long lawyers have felt like acknowledging that the practice of law is also a business is taboo.

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

Second SCOTUS brief for BBS in year one of operation. @erin_bbs did a great job on behalf of some of the country's top legal scholars.

[BBS Law @BBS_LLP]

BBS (@erin_bbs) was proud to author an amicus brief on behalf of over a dozen of the nation's top historians in Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta (argued today).

@BrianBDeFoe I'm so sorry Brian. 3 is way too young.

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

It doesn’t have to be this way.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

Research on elite law firms found that their hiring practices discriminate strongly based on social class — and an advantaged social background helps only men. https://t.co/RQes9KdCFh

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

It really doesn’t need to be like this.

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

“Any semblance of separation between work and personal life has been obliterated.”

⚖️ Big Law associates told Insider that they’re feeling burned out and wishing they could leave their top-ranking white-shoe firms in search of better work-life balance. https://t.co/NtAYgg1FGw

I have a preliminary injunction hearing at 8am tomorrow in Boston and was just talking to somehow about grateful I was to do it from Portland. So much time and expense saved. Good for the clients, good for family, and I think they have been effective for the courts too.

[Paul Grewal @iampaulgrewal]

I have much respect for the many judges who have handled remote arguments during this pandemic. I know how valuable in-person arguments are to judges--I used to be one. But a "return to normal" in-person arguments as a default would be a mistake. Here are a few reasons why. 1/6

Excited to see this today in the American Lawyer

Still not getting the attention it deserves

[Lawfare @lawfare]

The impact of the Microsoft Exchange hack will certainly be greater than SolarWinds.

We are probably days away from many threat actors globally pillaging and ransoming the email servers of tens of thousands of businesses and governments.

Here’s @NCWeaver:https://t.co/yLgXFFn92G

[Chris Krebs @C_C_Krebs]

Thoughts on the Hafnium Exchange hack: (1) it's going to disproportionately impact those that can least afford it (SMBs, Edu, States, locals), (2) incident response teams are BURNED OUT & this is at a really bad time, (3) few orgs should be running exchange servers these days.

[Darin M. Sands @DarinSands]

This is stunningly bad news, particularly on the heels of SolarWinds.

[briankrebs @briankrebs]

Sources who've briefed U.S. national security advisors say >30K U.S. organizations hacked by newly-found holes in Microsoft's Exchange email products, and that 100s of thousands of victim organizations worldwide now have web-based backdoors installed. https://t.co/IdSboDUys9
