New York criminal defense lawyer Scott Greenfield teased us (me, anyway) at first in a few outings for old times’ sake soon after he shut down Simple Justice, his enormously popular blog, on February 13, the day of the site’s fifth anniversary. It was hard to say what, if anything, a post-closing post here and there at the old site signaled about the trial lawyer’s plans for the future. Don’t jump the gun, you told yourself. It might not mean anything but a cooling-off gesture, a victory lap or two around the track for a winning half-decade of quality. But two days ago, in this post, Greenfield made it clear that he was back to his Spartan early morning keyboard regime of reading, thinking, evaluating, reacting, calling-out and inspiring and irritating a remarkably broad spectrum of people in several English-speaking nations. The Return of Greenfield is very good news for a notoriously dodgy and new world neighborhood: The Internet.
