You may have noticed that about three months ago I launched
a new feature here at "Adam Smith, Esq.:" A free monthly
e-mail newsletter, This
Month’s Best from “Adam Smith, Esq.”
I intend it as a
concise, pithy summary of a few of the more trenchant, widely-read,
controversial, or just plain entertaining entries of the past
month.
The first few issues have recapped and linked to the leading
stories of the past month, and occasionally serendipity has uncovered
common themes I was unaware of as I composed each separately.
I guarantee the newsletter will be family-friendly—and suitable
for forwarding to colleagues and friends.
So how’s it going, and why am I mentioning this now?
First of all, I am pleased to report that in barely 10
weeks’ time the subscriber list has grown to over 500 individuals from
all corners of the English-speaking legal world. Moreover,
it’s a remarkably sophisticated and high-caliber group, judging from
my quick scans of the names, positions, and firms the subscribers are
from: Nearly 10% are Managing Partners or Firm Chairs.
Anecdotally,
I was meeting the Executive Director of an AmLaw 50 firm recently,
and I happened to have noticed that the Chair of his
firm was a subscriber; when I mentioned this to him, his reaction, as
a non-subscriber, was memorable.
Second, while the newsletter began life as a handy summary and collection
of the "greatest hits" of "Adam Smith, Esq." during the prior month,
I plan on introducing new content into the newsletter each month
which will not be published on the site and will thus be available
only to subscribers. By doing this, am I tipping my hand
that I really really want you to sign up? Well, yeah:
- It’s free; and
- I will never compromise your information; it will remain confidential.
So what have you got to lose?
Please join this special "Adam Smith, Esq." community today. And,
while you’d immediately regret such a rash and impulsive act, you can
of course "unsubscribe" through a link at the end of each and every newsletter.
See you next month in your inbox!
