Seems the gift was opened before it was wrapped. Or the meal was eaten before it was served. Or the horse took off before the rider mounted. Or the new edition of The Complete Lawyer was announced before it had put on its full and best face for visitors. Vickie Pynchon at Settle It Now Negotiation Blog has more on this premature posting story, as does David Giacalone at f/k/a.
David explained why this new edition should not have been unveiled yet.
The f/k/a Gang apologizes for any confusion. When we enthusiastically told you about the focus on office bullies in the upcoming issue of The Complete Lawyer yesterday, we forgot that the crew at TCL is still in the final stages of putting together the entire edition. That means that the links provided below will indeed take you to the featured articles, but you can’t yet navigate around the TCL site from those pages to see the entire Jan-Feb. 2008 version of The Complete Lawyer — because it doesn’t yet exist. The complete package won’t be available until the first week of January. So, please enjoy this preview, but blame the f/k/a Gang, and not Don Hutcheson’s crew at TCL for links that take you to their prior editions, and not to the understandably not-yet-ready-for-blog-time Vol. 4, No.1.
I am told by Don Hutcheson that this will not happen again. All access to the next edition after this one will be blocked until the whole thing is ready for presentation to the world. I will let you know when the prematurely-bared edition is ready to receive visitors. I am sure it will be worth the wait.
