"Hello from California! This week I'm in the Bay Area participating in a leadership conference organized by Women Execs on Boards, an off-shoot of Harvard Business School's Women on Boards, after spending the weekend at the Omega Institute in upstate New York. (I'm gathering lots of ideas for the next edition of my book Law, Leadership, and Pipelines to Power, co-authored with Hannah Johnson, the new dean of Southern Illinois University Simmons Law School.)"
"A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday set aside a ruling that blocked New York from enforcing rules prohibiting the unauthorized practice of law against a nonprofit that provides limited legal advice to poor people in the state. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals , the lower court applied the wrong standard of review to the rules when it decided in May 2022 that New York nonprofit Upsolve's program, which trained people who aren't lawyers to provide free legal advice to people facing debt-collection lawsuits, was protected under the U.S. Constitution's 1st Amendment."
