GLOSSARY: Latham’s Book of Jargon
Given that ESG – Environmental, Social & Governance – is the acronym du jour, it’s kind of sad that we need a lexicon to tell us what it all means. Yet we do, and Latham’s Book of Jargon, which the firm has turned into an enduring franchise, is a welcome companion. The firm describes the Book, which is also an app, as an “interactive glossary of acronyms, slang, and terminology.” It launched in March 2012 with Restructuring & Special Situations and now extends across 14 areas ranging from Cryptocurrency & Blockchain to Corporate & Bank Finance. That includes the latest edition, Environmental, Social & Governance, a squishy amalgam of disciplines where an explainer is welcome. Maybe that’s why this edition needed a co-presenter, Rodney Irwin, managing director of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development’s Redefining Value and Education programs. Great stuff.
E-NEWSLETTERS: PinHawk
We at CCBJ are excited to have completed our acquisition of PinHawk, a longtime publisher of electronic newsletters for lawyers and beyond. Joe Bookman, founder and guiding spirit behind PinHawk, has assembled a formidable array of editors who oversee the various newsletters, including Librarian News Digest; Law Technology Daily Digest; Leading Law Departments; and Legal Administrator Daily. To give just one small example, check out the short piece about innovation by Jeff Brandt, editor of Law Technology Daily Digest, showcasing Josh Linkner’s essay, “How Tiny Bubbles Led to a $28 Billion Cost Savings.” Great stuff that’s a little off the beaten path of typical legal tech reporting.
