I am moving to a new firm where I’ll specialize in L&E (coming from being a generalist with litigation emphasis). Can you recommend resources to keep up to date on best practices and emerging issues (podcasts, articles to subscribe to, etc)?

EBG has a podcast!

Follow all the major L&E firms on LinkedIn they post news blasts all the time

Listen to a few recent episodes of Epstein Becker green’s employment law podcast. Then just memorize employment law basics (definition of reasonable accommodation, elements of your state’s whistleblower law, federal and state law protected categories, restricted covenant basics, etc.). Nail down the basic elements enough that you could regurgitate them while a partner is talking about facts of a case so that you can look like you’re adding value to a conversation. Most important is to pay extra careful attention to, memorize, and reiterate what your new partners say.

Employment law is the best, good luck!!

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
