A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Today we tell you about a new international legally binding treaty expected to be signed this week that aims to protect the legal profession. We also tell you about Mexico's lawsuit against Google, which aims to limit any renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the U.S. continental shelf. And The Global Lawyer focuses on mental health in the legal profession at a time when lawyers are facing a new stress: the threat to the rule of law.

– Lisa Shuchman, Executive Editor
