Ep. 89: No Country For Old Lawyers

As baby boomer attorneys who hung their shingles in small towns around the country retire, fewer and fewer new lawyers are willing to replace them, leaving many residents with limited or even no access to legal help. Jack Karp who wrote about the issue for our Access to Justice newsletter comes on the show to tell us about these legal deserts. Also this week we discuss more than 170 general counsels issuing an ultimatum to BigLaw over attorney diversity; a pair of indictments leveled against Chinese telecom giant Huawei; and instagram influencers facing questions over Fyre Fest.
