Boutiques, laterals, and recruiting dynamics

Welcome to another dumpster fire of a year.

We begin the year by peering into our crystal balls and issuing some predictions for 2026. Who will be fired? What's going to happen with law schools? Is a big change on the horizon for Biglaw? Our predictions will inevitably be wrong, but we'll offer them with a lot of confidence -- just like AI would.

Also a whole lot of sports talk for a law podcast.
