I recently had the great honor to be asked to join the end of the year roundtable on The Command Line Podcast, which in my opinion is the best technology podcast around.  The roundtable is broken into three pieces and this is the first of them.  I am also adding Cmdln's notes in full below.  I hope you enjoy it!

The Command Line Podcast

This is a feature cast.

The feature this week is part one of a round table discussion of some of the issues that were prominent this year.  I was joined by Kevin Crosby, Vaskin Kissoyan, and Eric Christensen.  The topic of this part is the state of copyright, taking into consideration this year's petitions for exemptions to the DMCA and the defeated Canadian DMCA.  We quickly veered into a discussion of generation gaps and norms, however.

More news and commentary, the alternate feed, and downloadable show notes available at http://thecommandline.net/.

I thought I had everything set to record the new episode and life throws you a curve ball, but this could be a very good one.

I just have to rework what I had ready when this little curve is over, but I think you'll like it.

My apologies for the long silence.

I'm sorry to say, but word has come down that there will not be a Copynight meeting in DC this month due to the holiday weekend.  So head home for the holidays earlier and enjoy some extra cranberry sauce.

Tip of the Hat to The Command Line for the first notice. (Sorry Joe)

I'm sorry, but I'm running late with the current episode.  Summarizing all the information turned out to be a little bit more than I anticipated.

I'll get this up as soon as possible.

The episode discusses some of the stress points in the Cravath Method as it is applied by the spectrum of firms today.  The main issues for discussion are the Cravath Method's lack of scalability and the paradigm shift that has occurred in legal education since it was created in 1900.

Inspired by Professor William Henderson's post "How the Cravath System Created the Bi-Modal Distribution" on the Empirical Legal Studies Blog.

See Also Deborah J. Cohen's article "End of the Road for the 'Cravath Model'?" in the ABA Journal.
