…especially criminal lawyers? This post may be slightly off topic but there is so much discussion about Big Data and predictive or quantitative analysis: Big Data—the neologism refers both to the bounty of information and to its analysis—is on the cusp of revolutionizing health care, scientific research, education, insurance, public health, energy policy, and national […]
When exactly does a new lawyer quit being a ‘new’ lawyer? One of the biggest fears most of us have about hanging a shingle right out of law school is that we are too new, too untested. We’re going to screw it up. Better get a ‘safe’ BigLaw job and get some experience and mentoring […]
