After a couple of weeks taken off to tackle a writing deadline, I'm back. I can only applaud the virtuosic performance here in the meantime from guestblogger Carter Wood, who has recently transformed the NAM's Shop Floor into the must-read blog destination for up-to-the-minute and brightly written coverage of legal reform news (as well as a range of other business and Washington topics: tax, labor, regulation, and more).

Better yet, Carter has agreed to stay on and continue his efforts as an ongoing Point of Law contributor. We can't expect him to go on contributing (cross-posting or otherwise) at quite the Stakhanovite (Reynoldsian?) pace he's achieved over the last two weeks, but if his past record is any indication, all of it will be eminently worth reading.
