What keeps you up at night?

Everyone who responded to our survey was concerned about unemployed lawyers. Whether you are unemployed or not, the vast pool of unemployed lawyers is a concern to us all.  The next nightmare that kept people awake was offshore outsourcing--indeed, related to unemployed lawyers--below is a link to an ABA article by Debra Cassens Weiss about one law firm management member who is not kept awake at night by outsourcing. I wonder why not.....  http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/kl_gates_chairman_sees_outsourcing_as_gnat_in_an_elephants_ear/
Finally, readers are kept awake at night by civility (or lack thereof, one would assume).  Surprisingly, no one was losing any sleep over mandatory retirement and judicial independence. I wonder why.....

I have been remiss in my blogging duties this end of the year. Apologies for that, my New Years resolution is to step up my blogging and to enlist guest bloggers to share this platform, anyone interested? send an email to nyclablogger@gmail.com if you are.  For everyone else, check out the latest survey and let us know YOUR New Years' resolutions.
