How many law professor bloggers are tenured versus not — and does that impact blogging decisions (are law professors more likely to
blog to increase visibility and concommitantly, the chances of tenure, or are they
less likely to do so for
fear that they won't be viewed as «real scholars»?)?
Leipold says he
fears that layoffs of compensation partners - which tend to occur far more quietly than those involving associate lawyers, who feel no compunction about alerting legal
blogs to the bad news - may continue and even intensify this year as firms push work down the law - firm hierarchy to
less expensive and more profitable associates.
