The Spindle Law Blog is shifting into lower gear for the summer as I take a short, but needed, sabbatical through August.  If you’ve been following our profiles in the Spindle Law Interviews series, rest assured there will be more profiles forthcoming.  My colleague Nick Diamand is taking over the blog for a bit while I study for and take the bar exam, and escape to the wilds of Alaska for a couple of weeks. If you happen to have missed the interviews with Ken Feinberg, Susan Crawford, Erwin Chemerinsky, to name just a few, please check out the entire series here. (Or just browse through all the post archives.)

In the meantime, I — in fact, we all — hope you have the chance to get out and enjoy what summer has to offer. I’ll be back posting from the beginning of September 2011.
