A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Lawyers have become increasingly wary about privacy and the security of their electronic devices when coming to the U.S., so they're taking extra precautions. Also, we have more details about what went on behind the scenes in the Law Society of Ontario's pay raise scandal. We continue to cover the targeting of the legal industry by U.S. President Donald Trump, and we can catch you up on court rulings blocking the President's latest executive orders, as well as the preemptive deal Skadden made with the White House. Plus, The Global Lawyer weighs in on what the U.S. government's focus on diversity means for DEI.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
