Practicing

• In case Stan's blog merely whets your appetite for things Asian (and it should), head next to the American Lawyer in a Japanese Law Office: "Life is better with an accent." [via the Blawg Ring]


• Business Lawyer is informative, witty and sharp: "This is a weblog by an attorney who doesn't go to court. So if you are looking for juicy tales of courtroom theatrics, you won't find any here. Try cable." Yes, I can see I'll be checking back here often.
