This Week’s Picks
An (Updated) Employer’s Guide to March Madness
March Madness is officially underway. We highlighted a post about NCAA trademarks last week, and this week we have a post that looks at the annual tournament from an angle I’d never considered before—everyday employers. Written by Evan Conder, Fiona Ong and Garrick Ross, the trio touch on everything from gambling in the workplace to dress codes. You can never go wrong choosing topics of general interest like sports for your blog posts. It’s also always good to provide useful insights on issues your clients may have failed to consider and this post does that expertly. Available at Shawe Rosenthal’s Labor & Employment Report.
2024: The year that the future arrives
While the sci-fi futures posited by 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner and others may not have accurately predicted when we would achieve certain levels of technological progress, Gareth Stokes says we’re closer than ever on several key innovations. An all-around stellar piece that really got me thinking about the near future of technology and the inevitable legal regulation that will surround it.

Breaking News – China Finalizes Management Rules for E-Cigarettes
A much more technical post than the others on this list, but that’s part of what makes it so great. This extremely detailed piece from David Ettinger, Eric Gu and Azim Chowdhury tells you everything you need to know about China’s recent E-cigarette rulemaking. This post is definitely written with a specific audience in mind, but even a layman like myself can understand the importance of the information here. Write for the people who you know will be reading your posts. Available at Keller and Heckman’s The Continuum of Risk.
