More on Trump. In case you want something more in-depth than my daily blurbs, please check out this excellent Inauguration Day client bulletin by Anjanette Cabrera and Stephen Stecker discussing what employers can expect in virtually every area of labor and employment law. And Jeanette Phelan is keeping us current on President Trump's actions on immigration.

It's HEERE! H-1B filing season is upon us. Will Krasnow has a readable recap of the rules, the exceptions, and the deadlines -- both internal and external.

And, at last, the exciting conclusion to Diary of a Pregnant Lawyer! In her "Third Blogmester" installment on FOCUS, our women's leadership blog, Mallory Schneider Ricci discusses the joys and sorrows of trying to practice law and look presentable while nine months' pregnant, as well as the return to work after maternity leave. (I wonder if Baby Margot will grow up to be as funny as her mama is.)
