1. Expect a Latham & Watkins announcement imminently. We’ve been reliably advised that the Associates Committee of LW met this morning, by conference call, from 11:30 AM to 12:10 PM (Eastern time).
2. In terms of the struggle for ATL’s soul — i.e., the heated debate over “salary vs. non-salary” coverage — here is what we’re going to do:
(a) We will continue to cover salary developments, but we will put the information and memos after the jump, so they won’t clutter up the main page. (For those of you who are new to ATL — and we can tell from our traffic stats that there are many of you — “after the jump” is blogspeak for “Click on the ‘Continue reading’ link.”)
(b) We will also start increasing the number of non-salary-related posts that we publish. After all, the biggest news — the original Simpson Thacher raise, and the setting of baselines in various major cities — is pretty much over. Much of what’s going on now is just follow-up.
We hope this will strike a balance that will make most of you happy. Thanks for reading!
