“tinyredcheck” Things I probably used to know but learned again today:
History tells us that Julius Caesar was killed 2049 years ago, on
the ides of March, 44 B.C. Despite Ceasar’s fate, Wikipedia says
that the ides (which fell on either the 13 or 15th of the month) were
considered auspicious, and traditionally corresponded with the
full moon (a favorite of haiku lovers and other romantics).
“et tu, Brute?,” the Ides of March is now associated with
treachery by a friend. So, this might be a good day to practice
and express your loyalty to those who merit it.
I learned a couple interesting things about the Roman calendar and
activities could only take place on certain days (dies fasti), while
“dies nefasti” were days, designated N on the calendar, on which
the courts could not sit, for various religious reasons, and dies
endotercissus, designated EN, were days when legal actions were
permitted on half of the day only. Does this give Walter Olson any
possible reform strategies?
As only he can, Evan Schaeffer takes a look today at the epic war
between law firms and legal recruiters over firm associates. (prior post)
