We previously asked for votes in the ABA's Legal Ethics Blawg category, which matters to about five people. Ok, maybe four. In any event, we are now losing ground to the Legal Profession Blog in our attempt to win the coveted second place spot. So vote for us. Soon. Have your children vote for us, too.
In all seriousness folks, thanks for reading the blog this year. And special thanks to John Steele for keeping up the great posts while many of us have had our heads buried in exams. Enjoy the holidays...even you guys at The Legal Profession Blog.

I will be buried soon enough. They haven't yet sent me the 175 exams I need to grade. I really need to get them before Christmas, because the seven days before New Years is the only convenient window.

You're a lucky guy. I've got a 172 (you beat me by 3) and am about half way through. I'll try to pick up the slack once you're buried! Good luck!

And your grandparents. First teach them how to use the mouse. The ask them to make an ethics vote.

On a more serious note, I am wondering if you guys had the same reaction I did on hearing about Bonds's trying to keep his attorneys. Isn"t this an easy case for disqualification? My post asking that, and asking further about the successive conflict to the other clent who needs to be crossed is here. http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/legal_profession/2007/12/barry-bonds-wai.html
And yes I am avoiding grading by such musings.

Alan,
I responded with a comment on your blog, but it's not up yet. (I assume you all moderate your comments.) If my comment somehow disappeared, let me know and I will re-post.
best,
John

I regularly read both blogs: maybe you should join forces....
Happy Holidays to everyone.
