It’s been almost three months since the f\/k\/a<\/em> “Gang” announced “our” Punditry Hiatus<\/a>.\u00a0 Despite a tastey temptation<\/a> yesterday from Carolyn Elefant at My Shingle<\/em><\/a>, Your Editor can’t seem to find the old ethicalEsq<\/em> gusto for commentary — or even Prof. Yabut’s proclivity toward irony.\u00a0 We hope that won’t stop you from checking out Carolyn’s post<\/a> What Makes a Legal Fee Unreasonable?, <\/em>which focuses on a controversy<\/a> involving the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and a one-third contingency fee paid to lawyer Thomas J. Troiano.\u00a0\u00a0 Carolyn graciously linked to an f\/k\/a<\/em> discussion of the ethics of contingency fees<\/a>, and we will rouse ourselves\u00a0enough to opine that it’s a pretty good place to go to learn about the topic (and it suggests a clear answer to the\u00a0reasonableness of Troiano’s fee).<\/p>\n

\"DandelionClock\"\u00a0As summer turns the corner toward autumn, we have no idea whether seasonal\u00a0or chronic allergies will continue to make new punditry\u00a0taboo here at f\/k\/a<\/em>.\u00a0 We will confidently predict, however, that haiku will always be in season.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
