During times like these, we need lawyers committed to public service more than ever.
Congrats to the 28 fellows, who come from 14 different law schools.
Legal operations face challenges in billing and spend management. Without advanced e-billing software, manual invoice reviews can lead to non-compliance with outside counsel guidelines and over-payment of legal fees.
It's not a surprising indictment, but still a juicy one.
The Biglaw firm is under fire for its work on behalf of Paul Manafort.
How much is he giving up to take a job on the Seventh Circuit?
It's not a party until Skadden shows up.
Recent CounselLink upgrades integrate the full in-house workflow with the broader suite of LexisNexis products.
Let this summer associate’s fate serve as a cautionary tale.
Eleven of them are men; the group could be more diverse.
Though he's spent the better part of three decades in Biglaw, he does have relevant experience.
Congratulations to the winners of the Skadden Fellowships, and good luck to them as they start working next year at wonderful organizations around the country.
We highlight steps lawyers should consider to move toward their desired outcomes.
* Duncan Lloyd, the Philadelphia assistant city solicitor who spray-painted "F*ck Trump" on a building while wearing an ascot and holding a glass of wine, will be able to keep his job after completing 40 hours of community service.

Biglaw behemoth Dentons is rumored to be a potential merger partner for firm's EUME branch, with DLA Piper and Greenberg Traurig ready to make lateral offers to partners. [Big Law Business] * Just because your law school isn't one of the best in the nation, it doesn't mean that you can't dream big. Case in point: The most recent winners of the prestigious Skadden public interest fellowships has been announced, and two of them will graduate from CUNY School of Law. We'll have more on the new Skadden Fellows later. [Skadden] * Dislike? A woman who wanted to serve her estranged husband with divorce papers via Facebook has been denied by a judge who noted that the social networking profile had been inactive for two-plus years, writing that to allow service would be "akin to the Court permitting service by nail and mail to a building that no longer exists."

As in the past, top performers in senior classes get some extra cash.
Cravath is the top firm (again), joined by some new arrivals in the top 10.
* From prosecutor to prisoner: former Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane gets sentenced to 10 to 23 months. [CNN] * Oh, the irony: the ABA won’t publish a report calling Donald Trump a “libel bully” because of “the risk of the ABA being sued by Mr. Trump.” [New York Times] * How the AT&T/Time Warner […]
The indignity.
