A month and a half ago, I took a risk and started writing down the thoughts in my mind each week about all things related to lawyer and judicial ethics. I hoped maybe a few dozen might read it. But, you showed up. More than 400 of you subscribed and 8,000 visited from 36 states and 16 countries in the first six weeks. AMAZING!

You keep showing up and shouting out. Last week, the American Law Institute promoted the roundup and Maybell Romero (Tulane Law School) called it “the substack I never knew I needed.”
