Law is the rulebook for the game of life. And only lawyers read the rulebook.

Last Week in Law (LWiL) helps you stay up-to-date on the latest stories from the legal industry.

There is a docket every week letting you know what is included in the newsletter. There are seven categories (they never change):

  1. Featured Story - A unique and important story worth your time.

  2. 🗄 IP/Transactional - Tales from the world of fake law (IP) and contracts.

  3. 🤺 Litigation - Who is suing who and why you should care about it.

  4. 📲 Legaltech - Technology is taking over the world.

  5. 🔪 Criminal/Politics - Stories from Criminal Law, and politics. But I repeat myself.

  6. 💰 Finance/Econ/Regulatory - Law and your money.

  7. ⚖️ Ethics - Lawyers & judges behaving badly. And then getting weirdly light disciplinary sentences.

Who you are, and why LWiL will help you

LWiL is aimed at working professionals who are either: a) curious about the law or b) interact with the law as part of their jobs. You might be a lawyer, judge, paralegal, law student. You might be in law or insurance or something else entirely, but want to make sure you are informed. LWiL will help you:

  • Provide you the opportunity to learn about niche areas of law

  • Surface stories from the legal industry that typically get drowned out by the big story of the week

  • Better understand the the law interacts with your industry and how the sausage gets made

  • Make you more interesting, funnier, and taller

  • If you’ve gotten this far and still haven’t subscribed, do us both a favor - don’t.

This newsletter is going to be most useful if you work at a law firm, the courts, bank, financial services firm, or any institution that is heavily regulated in some way.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
