Summer at law firms, Congressional offices, businesses and government agencies mean new interns and clerks–and new blood and fresh air for more senior people who hire them. But the season is also useful for evaluating talent, developing talent and teaching great habits. See this 2007 post.

Think about your clients. Is their work accurate? And how did they “get there” (to the answer), in that conclusion on “promissory estoppel against the government”, anyway? Are they people who want to “appear” to be lawyers–or passionately want to be lawyers? BS artists? Some Slackoisie slip in there? And are they “smart”? Well, if you don’t know, you should learn. It’s about your clients.
