Law blog round-up
August 25, 2008
Welcome back! Here are a few law links for your Monday:
* Douglas Colbert, professor at University of Maryland’s law school, writes about the importance of teaching future lawyers about their professional duty to do pro bono.
* Like our own Christina Doran, Paul Mark Sandler weighs in on expert witness hot tubbing.
* Jon Katz writes that the Trial Lawyers College gave him the ability to “talk[] to the jury, witnesses and judge the same way s/he would talk to his or her best friends, without a bunch of notes intervening, and with a heart that cares not only about the lawyer’s client, but also about everyone else in the courtroom…”
* It’s OCI season! Writes the anonymous blogger behind the Hiring Partner’s Office blog: “I also consider if this is someone that I could take with me to a client’s office tomorrow. If I have to train you how to act professionally and normally, I am passing.” He or she also has some other words of advice for students interviewing on campus or elsewhere.
* Via Lawbeat, the New York Times wrote over the weekend that immigration judges selected by the Bush administration with an apparent eye toward their politics deny a disproportionate number of asylum applications.

The first bullet (the importance of pro bono) is interesting given the fact that there is an entire article in today’s Daily Record about firing clients, including those who don’t have the ability to pay.
