“Judicial Notice: April 17, 2021; Notable legal news from the week that was.” David Lat has this post at his “Original Jurisdiction” Substack site.

Lat’s round-up this week confirms what he has been hinting at recently in his Tweets and prior postings:

Two years ago, I left Above the Law (“ATL”), the legal news website I founded in 2006, to become a legal recruiter at Lateral Link. Although I’ve enjoyed my time at Lateral Link, where I’ve worked with amazing colleagues, I realized during the pandemic that writing is my true passion. So as of the end of this month, I’m leaving the world of legal recruiting and returning to full-time writing.

I still need to make a living, so my departure from recruiting will coincide with my turning on paid subscriptions here at Original Jurisdiction. If you appreciate the content I currently produce on OJ — or that I produced over the past 17 years, at ATL and Underneath Their Robes before that — please consider lending your support when the time comes.

It will be good to have him back at writing full-time (“GTHHBAWFT”).
