Unsexy, traditional, ineloquent, plain, and unstylish, the name of this blog has some old-fashioned values. Sometimes when I write, read, or hear the name of this blog I cringe just a tiny bit at its clunky, unclever, too-long ugliness. Then I take some solace in that it is very clear – law department management. Other blogs have cute names, oh-so-clever names. My stodgy name matches the tenor of its posts and intent: write clearly about solid ideas that matter to general counsel as managers.
