The shattering events of January 6 in Washington painfully reminded me: terror can appear on very short notice!

This has got to be the coolest Olympic flag handover you've ever seen!

This right here

Have had #covid19 cases recently who literally tried to get vaccinated, were unable to for logistical reasons due to work schedules & got sick

Cut the blame narratives folks. You’re not helping

@RachelGurvich @lawprofblawg I was all set to settle in to read—and you had to throw some🍍 into the game? 🙄

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@LeanLawStrategy I see the world’s labor market in law becoming more fungible as work from home takes root. But as you say, all this takes time. And “had we but world enough and time…”

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@LeanLawStrategy Don't quarrel with what you say, but I really wonder whether 2/4 year degrees will be as common? (Think also outside the United States.)

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@marclauritsen Yes. And that it should be so is almost insufferably sad if one cherishes the many wonderful things that can happen at law schools!

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@profmadison Thanks, Mike. Getting much of this done seems to be a broadly shared value. But getting it done with any measure of dispatch is daunting!

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@LeanLawStrategy Thanks for the comments. I don't see the jobs obtained through certificate training as a dead-end. In part, they will substitute for the many jobs where present lawyers are over-trained. And yes, I assume we will get away from one size fits all training.

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

The number of law school applicants with top (175-180) LSAT scores has doubled over last year. You don't suppose 1st-year associate starting salaries zooming past $200,000 has anything to do with that, do you?

My own experiences over the years of being a client mirror this. A couple have been flawless; alas, these are the exceptions.

Over on Medium, I've posted a brief provocation paper I circulated privately some weeks ago. https://t.co/WUmnjawLjb.
It touches on practice-ready, T-shaped, mass distance learning for law--and points in between!
Comments and reactions are welcome!

@mcelhearn Really can do many of the tricks of a salamander at a tiny fraction of the cost.

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@ZhangTaisu It's the pettiness of the kind of chiseling that is really depressing.

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@michael_okun @JohnAFlood Education, medicine, infrastructure, penal systems...and on and on and on. Let's run this like a business. What say? So much more efficient.
Sad.

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@mcelhearn Tried one of these?

[Peter D Lederer @peterdlederer]

@katgallow Contrast Florida: Well-over 20,000 cases daily, and quarantine is practically unheard of! Mask mandates? Governor won't permit them.
